Bradley,
PyMOL's mainloop runs in a separate thread from Tkinter, so you can't call it directly from PyMOL scripts. See modules/pmg_tk/startup/__init__.py inside the PyMOL installation for an example code snippet for writing your own Tkinter plugin for PyMOL (which install or run upon startup).

Is there a way to get around this so I can get my Tk window up? -- Bradley J. Hintze Biochemistry Undergraduate Utah State University 801-712-8799
