[Molvis-list] Rasmolify PyMOL?

[Paul Craig]

Dan,

To respond to your questions:

Right now it is in the form of a plug-in for PyMOL using the Tkl/Tk  
interface. We have some grand plans for the future, but that is our  
current state. I like your idea of a to do list and we will get one of  
those up on the SBEVSL web site soon.


> Is the code written in Python?

Yes.
