There is always this trade off between (A) shipping PyMOL with its own
Python, to guarantee reliable installation, or (B) using a system PyMOL
install, for enabling integration and extensibility. One of PyMOL's
advantages is that you aren't locked in to either approach, embedding or
extension -- the program supports both.
The challenge with (B) is that installed Python versions vary from
system to system, so recompilation of PyMOL is the only sure way to
guarantee binary compatibility between PyMOL's compiled code and the
system Python install.
Setting PYTHONPATH (note no underscore) only works if the modules you
import are native Python (with no binary C-language dependencies).
Cheers,
Warren

Subject: [PyMOL] Using a seperate python installation
Hello All,
Can someone tell me wether it is possible to use a
stand-alone python installation alongside the latest PyMol
releases? I have a few things set up in my main python
installation which an older (python free) version of Pymol
was happy to use, having installed the newer version it uses
it's own version of python. Is this possible to specify in
the .pymolrc? If so what do I write? I've tried the obvious
PYTHON_PATH = 'C:\\Python24\\'
Many thanks,
Jules
