If you've got PyMOL configured to open on import pymol pymol.finish_launching()
You can suppress the GUI feature and suppress startup output by providing command line arguments as follows. Before importing PyMOL, set a "pymol_argv" list in the __main__ namespace. PyMOL will interpret this as a sys.argv styled list of command line arguments. import __main__ __main__.pymol_argv['pymol','-qc'] import pymol pymol.finish_launching() Cheers, Warren -- mailto:war...@delanoscientific.com Warren L.
