Launching Python programs from PyMOL
Running a Python script from PyMOL, usually the command:
run script.py
Is enough. Of course, the file script.py needs to be in the working directory. You can also launch Python scripts when starting PyMOL. Asynchronous means, that a new Python thread is started:
pymol example.py # synchronous, in PyMOL module
pymol -r example.py # synchronous in __main__ module
pymol -l example.py # asychronous in a new module
You can also launch python programs from within PyMOL with the commands:
run example.py # synchronous in pymol module
run example.py,main # synchronous in __main__ module
spawn example.py # asychronous in a new module
spawn example.py,global # asychronous in the PyMOL module
spawn example.py,main # asychronous in the __main__ module
Launching PyMOL from Python programs
Using the PyMOL commandline
Are you aware that the PyMOL command line is also a Python command line? You can just use PyMOL interactively in that fashion.
PyMOL>print(1+1)
2
PyMOL>from random import random
PyMOL>print(random())

The only major difference is that the default namespace for PyMOL is "pymol" not "__main__"
PyMOL>print(__name__)
pymol
