Hello,

I'm trying to understand what seems like an inconsistency between PyMOL commandline and python scripts. I have the following commandline script:

   delete all
   load ../4lzt_quasi.pdb, full
   cmd.create("anew", "full", 1, 1)
   cmd.alter_state(1,"anew" , "x,y,z = x+nm[(ID-1)*3],
   y+nm[(ID-1)*3+1], z+nm[(ID-1)*3+2]")
   iterate_state 1, full & id 1, print x, y,z
   iterate_state 1, anew & id 1, print x, y,z

Which I then run:

   PyMOL>@pymoltest1.txt
   ...
   PyMOL>iterate_state 1, full & id 1, print x, y,z
   2.69099998474 4.58500003815 13.6999998093
     IterateState: iterated over 1 atom coordinate states.
   PyMOL>iterate_state 1, anew & id 1, print x, y,z
   2.41267466545 5.63420581818 12.6615524292
     IterateState: iterated over 1 atom coordinate states.

Now I have this python script:

   cmd.delete( all)
   cmd.load( "../4lzt_quasi.pdb", "full")
   cmd.create("anew", "full", 1, 1)
   cmd.alter_state(1,"anew" , "x,y,z = x+nm[(ID-1)*3],
   y+nm[(ID-1)*3+1], z+nm[(ID-1)*3+2]")
   xyz1=[]
   cmd.iterate_state(1, 'full & id 1', 'xyz1.append([x,y,z])')
   xyz2=[]
   cmd.iterate_state(1, 'anew & id 1', 'xyz2.append([x,y,z])')
   print xyz1
   print xyz2

Which I run:

   PyMOL>run pymoltest1.py
   [[2.690999984741211, 4.585000038146973, 13.699999809265137]]
   [[2.5646746158599854, 4.600205898284912, 13.65555191040039]]

Why am I getting different coordinates for the second atom? The second set of coordinates from the first script are actually the coordinates of the 5th atom in my structure (CA of a LYS). I'm guessing that the alter_state command is somehow doing something different in one and the other case but it's hard to understand why.

Thanks for the help,
Pawel
