Did you know... Run run executes an external Python script in a local name space, the global namespace, or in its own namespace (as a module). USAGE run python-script [, (local | global | module | main | private ) ] PYMOL API Not directly available. Instead, use : cmd.do("run ..."). NOTES The default mode for run is global. Due to an idiosyncrasy in Pickle, you can not pickle objects directly created at the main level in a script run as "module", (because the pickled object becomes dependent on that module). Workaround: delegate construction to an imported module.
