Michael, A present, you can't simply "import" the PyMOL program as a module. You need to use PyMOL as your Python interpreter.
You can use "Run" from the File menu or the "run" command from within PyMOL. PyMOL>cd c:\some_directory PyMOL>run myscript.py Since you are under windows, you can use the DOS/Win command shell: "C:\Program Files\DeLano Scientific\PyMOL\pymolwin.exe" myscript.py # command-line only scripts "C:\Program Files\DeLano Scientific\PyMOL\pymolwin.exe" -qc myscript.py - Warren -- mailto:war...@sunesis.com Warren L.

I wish link some scripts I have written in python with PyMol using PyMol’s API. From what I understand, all I need to do is import the module pymol.cmd and call the functions contained within. However, when I attempt to import this module, I get the following error: >>> from pymol import cmd Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in ? from pymol import cmd File "C:\Program Files\DeLano Scientific\PyMOL/modules\pymol\__init__.py", line 137, in ? import _cmd ImportError: No module named _cmd Where have I gone wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
