For myself, I keep the scripts in a directory (~/prog/python) that is included in my PYTHONPATH environment variable. The script that starts pymol then appends to this path what it needs for itself. I then also automatically load the scripts via my .pymolrc file: run /home/rlc/prog/python/load_models.py run /home/rlc/prog/python/load_sep.py run /home/rlc/prog/python/color_b.py run /home/rlc/prog/python/stride_ss.py run /home/rlc/prog/python/color_by_restype.py run /home/rlc/prog/python/color_by_attype.py run /home/rlc/prog/python/draw_cell.py run /home/rlc/prog/python/draw_symops_cctbx.py run /home/rlc/prog/python/data2bfactor.py There is probably a better way, especially for a system-wide approach. > I am looking for an approach that will not require me > to reinstall all of my custom pymol python scripts everytime > I upgrade python and/or pymol.
