Thank for your mail.

That was the first think I thought :-) Unfortunately, calling my script with a & causes that I lack all communication with my script (the plugin). We need something like AJAX.

Hi Marcin,

Correct me if I'm wrong developers, but I believe you should be able to run your extension as a "background process".  In linux it involve calling your script with a "&" simple at the end of the command from terminal, i.e.

python test.py&

This would allow the process to execute in the background. 

Hope that helps,

Chris

Dear Chimera developers.
Me and of my students are developing  a chimera extension to deal with
protein structures.
Unfortunately, the execution of our plunging last at least 5 minutes,
so during this time the chimera program is hinged.  We would like to
execute the program in an asynchronous way.

Is it possible?

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require further
information about our project.

Best regards,
Marcin Pawlowski
