As a point of minor clarification: The "quiet" option (if present) is set to zero by default for parsed PyMOL commands, but is not set for Python API calls.
In other words, zoom is nearly equal to cmd.zoom(quiet=0) even though the Python definition for "zoom" has quiet=1 as a default argument setting. And thus, zoom quiet=0 is redundant. but zoom quiet=1 could be of use in command scripts to suppress output that is enabled by default. The intent behind this behavior is to enable Python-based programs to execute as fast as possible with minimum output while calling the same exact functions available to users at the command prompt and in command scripts where feedback is typically desirable.
