Getting ready
This recipe will be presented as a Python script, not as a Notebook. This is mostly because the output is not interactive, but a set of image files that will need further post-processing.
You will need to install PyMOL (http://www.pymol.org). On Debian/Ubuntu/Linux, you can use the apt-get install pymol command.
PyMOL is more of an interactive program than a Python library, so I strongly encourage that you play with it before moving on to the recipe. This can be fun! The code for this recipe is available on the GitHub repository as a script, along with this chapter's Notebook file at Chapter07. We will use the PyMol_Movie.py file in this recipe.
