Tony,
In order to enter multi-line Python code on the command line, you
need to use explicit end-of-line continuations. Otherwise, PyMOL won't know
where your Python code stops and PyMOL commands again begin.
from pymol.cgo import *
from pymol import cmd
set cgo_sphere_quality, 3
def cgo_sphere(x,y,z,r,name="cgo_sphere"): \
# Create a CGO object \
obj = [ \
SPHERE, float(x), float(y), float(z), float(r) \
] \
# Load it into PyMOL \
cmd.load_cgo(obj,name)
# Add to PyMOL command language
cmd.extend("cgo_sphere",cgo_sphere)
# end Python, begin PYMOL commands
cgo_sphere 0,0,0,500,test

For example, I can paste the above directly into the PyMOL command line (on
win32), in order to get a sphere on the screen.
A better alternative it to simply put all of that Python code into a ".py"
file and "run" it from within PyMOL.
NOTE: PyMOL doesn't currently render large and small objects together very
efficiently, and there's precious little that you can do about it at the
present time. Increasing hash_max won't help, though decreasing it can give
a modest gain in performance. Sticking exclusively to CPK can also help.
Cheers,
Warren
