Hi Terry, It is much faster to unpack PyLists than PySequences, which is why the input needs to be a list. However, I just added some code to automatically convert tuples to lists at the Python API level in future PyMOL builds.
Thanks for pointing out this potential CGO "gotcha"! Cheers, Warren -- Warren L. DeLano, Ph.D. Principal Scientist . DeLano Scientific LLC . 400 Oyster Point Blvd., Suite 213 .
