PyMOL is a molecular visualization stand-alone program that is very popular with protein crystallographers because of the high quality of its rendering, its speed and versatility. A large percentage of the figures in journal publications reporting new macromolecular structures are created using PyMOL. PyMOL is the creation of Warren Delano. It has an innovative license: it is open source, but not necessarily free: current ready-to-run downloads (binaries) and up-to-date documentation require payment of modest annual subscription fees. However, a free version is available to educators for use in teaching students, and out-of-date binary builds can be freely downloaded as well.
The "Py" in PyMOL refers to the [Python language] an integral part of the Package. Python enables users to control PyMOL with simple command scripts or to develop plugins and programs with their own custom user interfaces.
