Hi PyMOLers, >From time to time, I find myself sharing structures using PyMOL with coworkers/collaborators at remote locations. I have used various screen-sharing tools (e.g. VNC) to do this. If you've ever done this, even over a fast 'net connection, you know that the quality suffers significantly over running PyMOL locally. On occasion, I've reversed this so that I remote-control a remote local PyMOL session, but this is also a bit difficult as the quality on my side suffers significantly. It would be nice to have a high-quality method to share 3D info simultaneously across multiple locations.
I stumbled upon the ability of PyMOL to act as an XML-RPC listener. Obviously, this feature was added to allow one or more sessions to act as "slaves" to a "master" controlling session over the internet/intranet. Has anyone made any progress along these lines? As I see it, the slave session(s) need to be invoked so that they can be controlled remotely (currently, it seems fixed to localhost on port 9123). Also, the master session needs to spit out the appropriate commands (as it does to a log file) along with orientational information to one or more slave sessions. Any guidance would be useful.
