Hi,

I'm having some trouble accessing a function defined at top level with
alter_state in a python script launching pymol. Maybe I shouldn't be
wanting to do this, but what I'm trying, and failing to do is
exemplified by this script:

###

#!/usr/bin/env python

import pymol

if __name__ == "__main__":
    pymol.finish_launching()

def identity(x,y,z):
    print "YEAH!"
    return x,y,z

# Fix:
# setattr(pymol,"identity",identity)

pymol.editor.build_peptide("GGGGG")
pymol.cmd.alter_state(1,"all","(x,y,z)=identity(x,y,z)")

###

The problem is that the function 'identity' (which may be given a more
sensical form by actually doing something with the coordinates), is
sought in the pymol namespace. I can't really figure out where I
should be looking to directly call the function. Of course, I can
register the function in the pymol module (uncomment the setattr
line), but I don't think it's proper meddling with established modules
like that. Does anyone know a better/cleaner solution?

In addition, does anyone know how to suppress the GUI stuff when
launching pymol like this?

Groetjes,

Tsjerk
