Not supporting for multicore in Windows enviroment

[ssalentin]

Could you provide me with the specific error message you get?

[o7o]

Sorry for late reply

here it is the screenshoot for error multicore (win7 64bit, python 2.7 32bit)

link: https://goo.gl/NZbe6Z

different for Ubuntu 16.04, and I am sorry, it used python 2.7 version, right as ricrogz said.

Help me, I have tried in other Win 7 64bit system using python 2.7 64bit, but I got some error

Thank you very much

[ssalentin]

For the first case, try to rename the plipcmd script to plipcmd.py. Sometimes, there seem to be issues with the multiprocessing module in Windows when trying to reimport scripts without the .py ending.
For the second case it seems that you don't have a matching version of your Python bindings for OpenBabel installed.

[o7o]

Thank you for your respond.
For my second case, I uninstall standalone openbabel installation first because I had installed it before.
For the first one, as you said, I renamed two files plipcmd to plipcmd.py; in C:\Python27\Scripts and C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\plip-1.3.3-py2.7.egg\EGG-INFO\scripts.
And edit this:

#!C:\Python27\python.exe
# EASY-INSTALL-SCRIPT: 'plip==1.3.3','plipcmd'
__requires__ = 'plip==1.3.3'
__import__('pkg_resources').run_script('plip==1.3.3', 'plipcmd.py')

in plipcmd.py in C:\Python27\Scripts
It's worked like charmed for my all core, no error showed, but when I checked the result folder, I did not find the .pse and .png files. What should I do to solve the problem?
Thanks
Environment: OS Windows 7 64bit with Python 2.7 64bit

With which parameters did you run PLIP?

[o7o]

all as -vtxyp

v=verbose
t=report in txt
x=report in xml
y=pymol session
p=image
CMIIW

[ssalentin]

Sounds like a problem with PyMOL then. Please start in debug mode (--debug) and post the output here.

here the debug result for multicore:

Noted. I have installed both version of ImageMagick-7.0.3-10-Q16-x**-dll in my system.

Thanks

[ssalentin]

Thanks. From the log, I can't see a problem. Is the outputfolder (bju1/ or bju/) completely empty in both cases?

[o7o]

Like as I said at first, I got all files of result (-txyp-) at bju folder when I enable maxthreads to 1 (only 1 core). Otherwise, when I used "all" core (more than 1, of course), I just got two kind of files, txt and xml at bju1 folder, there were no .png and .pse.

Any way, thanks for your time and support for this case. I hope, in the future, plip will be running multicore in windows environment.

[ssalentin]

Okay, thank you again for the clarification. There are some differences in the fork modules of Unix and Windows systems. We will look into the problem for a future release. I will leave the issue open until then.

[o7o]

Hi again Salentin,
I am glad, PLIP version 1.3.4(b) has been released. For your info, I have installed and tested it in my PC, but it is still not working in multi core
My System: Windows 7 64bit, Python 2.7.13 64bit, PyMOL 1.8.6.1, OpenBabel 2.4.1
Thanks
