The problem
Curent PyMOL approach to new plugin commands are outdated.
The proposal
Introduce a new system based on modern Python with type checking and implicit conversion.
What works right now?
On PyMOL open-source, but not on Incentive, there's a cmd.declare_command but isn't very much working for all possible cases.
Example of how it can be
@declare_command
def new_command(
dirname: Path = '.',
nullable_point: Optional[Tuple[int, int, int]] = None,
my_var: int | float
extended_calculation: bool = True,
old_style: Any = "Support anything currently not supported"
) -> IgnoredType:
"""
A cool docstring.
"""
pass
I'm also propose to better support docstrings.
