Hi Jared and Jordan, Just want to clarify that dots for hierarchical grouping is optional. Any name can be put into a group, with the "group" command. Grouping can happen automatically with dots, depending on the "group_auto_mode" setting.
Relevant settings for dotted name handling: group_auto_mode group_full_member_names Group command: http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Group There is no proper API to get the (first-order) children of a group. You can get all molecular object children (including children from nested groups) by: cmd.get_object_list('(groupname)') Hope that helps.
