Evangelos,
This is architecturally impossible in PyMOL due to clash between the
asychronous nature of GUI event handling and the synchronous nature of
script execution using the main thread.
Right now, the best thing you can do is add a new command into the
language which calls your function followed by the text provided
def my_fn(*args): print args
cmd.extend("my_fn",my_fn)
Now, the user can type...
my_fn argument-list
...to call your function.
However, I would like to understand your intended use case in greater
detail so that we can find an easier way of providing such interactivity
in the future. Perhaps we could do this by running such scripts in a
subordinate thread and then emulating "raw_input" behavior on the main
thread.
Another approach would be a prompting mechanism which would
automatically call a provided function with the next line of input.
Cheers,
Warren
