Hi,
I'm using PyMOL as a front end to a few scripts. So, I need to get my
hands on sys.argv to process the command-line arguments. On OS X,
everything works just like I'd expect. However, on Linux, I can't get
sys.argv. Here's a very simple Python script:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
print dir(sys)
print sys.argv
When I run pymol -cr ./my_script.py on Linux, I get this:
PyMOL>run ./x.py,main
['__displayhook__', '__doc__', '__excepthook__', '__name__',
'__stderr__', '__stdin__', '__stdout__', '_getframe', 'api_version',
'builtin_module_names', 'byteorder', 'call_tracing', 'callstats',
'copyright', 'displayhook', 'exc_clear', 'exc_info', 'exc_type',
'excepthook', 'exec_prefix', 'executable', 'exit', 'exitfunc',
'getcheckinterval', 'getdefaultencoding', 'getdlopenflags',
'getfilesystemencoding', 'getrecursionlimit', 'getrefcount',
'hexversion', 'maxint', 'maxunicode', 'meta_path', 'modules', 'path',
'path_hooks', 'path_importer_cache', 'platform', 'prefix',
'setcheckinterval', 'setdlopenflags', 'setprofile',
'setrecursionlimit', 'settrace', 'stderr', 'stdin', 'stdout',
'version', 'version_info', 'warnoptions']
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/users/mlerner/src/pymol/modules/pymol/parser.py", line 287, in parse

PyMOL: normal program termination.
While pawing around in the PyMOL sources, I found that pymol_argv
shows up. It seems to be what I want, but I don't know how stable it
is. Am I supposed to use it instead of sys.argv?
Thanks,
