This script does calcualate the radius of gyration of a molecule.
Thanks to Tsjerk Wassenaar for posting this script on the pymol-users mailing list!

Example
This example uses the radius of gyration and the center of mass to display a semitransparent sphere.
from pymol import cmd, stored, util
import centerOfMass, radiusOfGyration
cmd.set('sphere_transparency', 0.5)
cmd.fetch('2xwu')
cmd.hide('everything')
cmd.show('cartoon', 'chain A')
stored.gyradius = radiusOfGyration.rgyrate('chain A and polymer')
centerOfMass.com('chain A and polymer', object='com')
cmd.alter('last com', 'vdw=stored.gyradius')
util.cbc()
