Editing Launching PyMOL (section)

==Launching Python scripts==
Running a Python script from PyMOL, usually the command:
<source lang="python">
run script.py
</source>
Is enough. Of course, the file script.py needs to be in the working directory.  For more detailed examples, see the commands to launch Python scripts when starting PyMOL. Asynchronous means, that a new Python thread is started:
<source lang="python">
pymol example.py     # synchronous, in PyMOL module
pymol -r example.py  # synchronous in __main__ module
pymol -l example.py  # asychronous in a new module
</source>

You can also launch python programs from within PyMOL with the commands:
<source lang="python">
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
</source>
