[Bug 340085] Re: Pymol Doesn't Initialize after Upgrading to Python 2.6

[Timothy Palpant]

** Description changed:

  While the last rebuild updated Pymol's python dependency to include 2.6,
  it crashes with the following error:
  
  Error: unable to initalize the pymol.cmd module
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/pymol/cmd.py", line 265, in <module>
      from api import *
    File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/pymol/api.py", line 381
       as = show_as
        ^
   SyntaxError: invalid syntax
+ 
+ It looks like this problem is already known; by examining the source of
+ api.py I found this:
+ 
+ # dang! Python 2.6 will break PyMOL's "as" method. 
+ # Proposal:
+ #  1. stick with Python <=2.5 for as long as possible
+ #  2. convert API method to cmd.show_as() and leave "as" in the scripting langauge
+ #  3. allow "show_as" in the scripting language
+ as = show_as
+ 
+ While I'm not sure exactly what's going on (never touched Python),
+ commenting out the final line seems to correct the problem--or at least
+ allow Pymol to start.
