It looks like Andrey wants his script to be able to interpret command line arguments. Unfortunately, PyMOL doesn't enable this in a consistent way, since Launching under Windows (embedded Python) is quite different than unix (non-embedded Python).
With embedded Python, arguments aren't making it to sys.argv. Instead, they are being passed straight from C into PyMOL's invocation routine. I will fix this in the next version by reassigning them to sys.argv, but you can do this immediate by inserting import sys sys.argv = copy.deepcopy(argv) Directly under "def parse_args(argv):" (line 79) in PyMOL/modules/pymol/invocation.py. I'd also like to provide a means by which certain can be ignored by PyMOL and be available directly to Python scripts in PyMOL. Here is my proposal: Ignore any arguments after a double-hyphen ("--") sentinel. For example: pymol -c myscript.py -- -pymol -will -ignore -these -arguments pymol -c myscript.py -- -your -script -interpret -them -instead Any objections? - Warren -- mailto:war...@sunesis.com Warren L.
