Python Scripts

This folder is intended for storing Python example scripts, for new users to get an introduction on how to use Python with BALL and BALLView. Furthermore users can send us their Python scripts, so that others can benefit from their work. If you want to send us your Python script, please write an email to BALL@bioinf.uni-sb.de .

Most of these scripts need the standard BALLView startup Python Script. So make sure that it has run. Furthermore some scripts require that a structure is already loaded.
