 Hi,
 
  I'm trying to start Pymol (version 0.93) in a Python script,
 using the first method described in __init__.py i.e.:
 
 import pymol
 
 pymol.finish_launching()
 
 I've set the PYTHONPATH and PYMOL_PATH variables as required
 but I get this error message:
 
 -
 Traceback (innermost last):
   File pymol.py, line 3, in ?
 import pymol
   File pymol.py, line 5, in ?
 pymol.finish_launching()
 AttributeError: finish_launching
 -
 
  So what am I doing wrong?

It seems like you might have named your python script pymol.py, and
the import pymol statement just tries to import pymol.py instead of
the Pymol package. Try renaming your script to something other than
pymol.py.

[PyMOL] aa residues disconnected from 'fancy helices'?

2003-11-07 Thread Michael Bovee

Hi all,
I'm just starting to try out PyMOL (fink package 0.90-2, running 
through Apple's X11beta2, on a Lombard G3PB, MacOS 10.2.4).
Its much easier to learn that I thought it would be! Well done Warren, 
and codevelopers!  One puzzling thing I've noticed: when I build a 
model of my protein of interest using 'set cartoon_fancy_helices,1' and 
then show sidechains for several key catalytic residues, I find that 
the amino acids that reside along beta sheet or alpha helix regions 
appear properly connected to the alpha carbon backbone representation, 
but sidechains of amino acids that reside on 'strand' regions  appear 
to float in midair and do not connect to the strand backbone. Anyone 
else seen this behaviour?


Thanks!

Ayup, that did the trick. Thanks!

[PyMOL] resolution

2003-11-07 Thread slovic

Hi,

will PyMol only save images at 72dpi, or can I dial that up somehow?

thanks
