get_names returns a list of object and/or selection names.
PYMOL API
cmd.get_names( [string: "objects"|"selections"|"all"|"public_objects"|"public_selections"] )
NOTES
The default behavior is to return only object names.
EXAMPLES
Multiple alignments
# structure align all proteins in PyMOL to the protein named "PROT". Effectively a
# poor multiple method for multiple structure alignment.
for x in cmd.get_names("all"): cealign( "PROT", x)
Determine whether or not an object (objName) is enabled:
if objName in cmd.get_names(enabled_only=1):
print objName, "is enabled"
