This is an odd concidence, since I was just about to post about something very similar. I would like to use rtools commands from a .pml that is read from the command line (eg - with the -qc flag, instead of using the graphical interface). When starting pymol normally, rtools loads and everything is hunky dory. However, even if I add a "run <path>/rtools.py" command to the .pml script, none of the rtools commands are recognized. Manually running rtools.py from within the .pml produces no errors. Is there a way to use rtools from within a script that never sees the graphical front end?

dear pymol users!

I use the Kristian Roter's rtools for easy access pdb files.

however, if I start a pmyol script (.pml, which I just double-click in windows)
with a command like

pdb 1kv2

to get a pdb file loaded, I get an error which is, unfortunately,
beyond my pymol/python knowledge:

PyMOL>pdb 1kv2
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Programme\DeLano Scientific\PyMOL\modules\pymol\parser.py", line 255, in parse
    exec(com2[nest]+"\n",pymol_names,pymol_names)
  File "<string>", line 1
     pdb 1kv2
         ^
 SyntaxError: invalid syntax
[...]

pymol launches as usual after that, and I also can use
rtools commands without problems within it.

ideas?

thanks,
christian
