Hi Ali,
I would typically use a temporary object for that, which is loaded into the
work space but never rendered:
def intra_rms_tempobj(filename):
from pymol import cmd
tmpname = cmd.get_unused_name('_tmpobj')
cmd.load(filename, tmpname, zoom=0)
try:
return cmd.intra_rms(tmpname)
finally:
cmd.delete(tmpname)
It's also possible to create a new instance of the PyMOL backend, this is
probably closer to what you were looking for:
def intra_rms_tempinstance(filename):
import pymol2
with pymol2.PyMOL() as p:
p.cmd.load(filename)
return p.cmd.intra_rms('*')
