Hi Thomas,
In general, the PyMOL API should raise pymol.CmdException if things go wrong.
But in case of cmd.pair_fit() this wasn't happening (see my fix that I pushed
few minutes ago:
https://github.com/schrodinger/pymol-open-source/commit/b26d91c40d20344fef511ea9d6bb664a93f1bb4a
)
cmd.select() correctly raises an exception, so if you want to make a script
more robust against selection failures, you could always create a named
selection first to check if it's valid.
tmpsele1 = cmd.get_unused_name('_sele1')
try:
cmd.select(tmpsele1, someexpression, 0)
except pymol.CmdException:
print('invalid selection')
finally:
cmd.delete(tmpsele1)
Cheers,
Thomas
