Description Luyang Han 2009-05-09 12:22:32 UTC

When try to start pymol-1.1-r2 with python 2.6.2, following message is given:

Error: unable to initalize the pymol.cmd module
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/pymol/cmd.py", line 265, in <module>
    from api import *
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/pymol/api.py", line 381
     as = show_as
      ^
 SyntaxError: invalid syntax

This is because in python 2.6 the 'as' is a reserved keyword

Reproducible: Always

Is fixed in 1.2* which is in sci overlay.

 Can we get that in-tree and stabilised please?  Python 2.6 just went stable on amd64 and is planned for other arches, too.
