Fetch Host The fetch_host setting controls from which PDB server you download files when using the fetch command. You options are: pdb pdbe pdbj mirror URL with "divided" layout (new in PyMOL 1.6) for the standard RCSB (pdb), pdb mirror in europe, and the pdb mirror in Japan. New in PyMOL 1.3 Details The exact URL (or list of URLs to try) is stored in `pymol.importing.hostPaths[type]`. The fetch_host setting only applies to the incomplete (not starting with `scheme://`) URL entries there. Usage set fetch_host, pdb set fetch_host, pdbe set fetch_host, pdbj set fetch_host, http://ftp.wwpdb.org/pub/pdb set fetch_host, file:///local/mirror/pub/pdb # Paths which are appended to fetch_host import pymol pymol.importing.hostPaths["cif"] = "/data/structures/divided/mmCIF/{mid}/{code}.cif.gz" pymol.importing.hostPaths["pdb"] = "/data/structures/divided/pdb/{mid}/pdb{code}.ent.gz" <syntaxhighlight lang="python"> Don't use ..→
