Hi Martin,

PyMOL first searches the Dunbrack rotamer library for hits based upon
the amino acid type and it's original phi/psi angles.  If it cannot
find a hit, it will then look for backbone independent positions.  To
get the number of available rotamers given a residue, you need to
unpickle the library, create the lookup key into the library and then
count the results.  It might look something like this:

# unpickle the library
import pickle
rot_lib = 
pickle.load(open("$PYMOL_HOME/data/chempy/sidechains/sc_bb_dep.pkl",'r'))

# get residue name, you need to select the residue
# into "my_res"
from pymol import stored
stored.r = ''
iterate first my_res, stored.r = resn

# get residue info; prepare dictionary key
(phi,psi) = cmd.phi_psi("br. first my_res")

# warren also does 20 and 60 in place of 10--three possible lookups
key = ( stored.r, int(10*round(phi/10)), int(10*round(psi/10)))

if key in rot_lib.keys():
  print "This rotamer has %s possible positions" % len(rot_lib[key])

Lookups in the independent library are easier--just provide a residue name.

Cheers,

-- Jason
