Hi,

I have recently started to play with PyMOL and using python scripts. Is it 
possible to create a new selection without launching the GUI? I want to 
manipulate the selection and calculate the surface area, and then delete it. I 
will be doing this for a lot of proteins so I would like to be able to batch 
process with a script.

The code that I currently have is as follows:

import __main__
__main__.pymol_argv = ['pymol', '-qei']

import pymol
from pymol import cmd, stored
pymol.finish_launching()
import sys, getopt

name = sys.argv[1]

cmd.fetch(name, "protein")
cmd.create("__tmp", name)
cmd.remove("__tmp" + " and b < " + str(2.5))


I suspect that it is the cmd.create("__tmp", name) function that launches the 
GUI — am I correct? If so, what are my options?

Thank you,
Irem
