If you want to use the GUI of PyMOL-PUB, please enter 'python3 windows.py' to start the GUI interface after entering the molpub folder.
If you want to write your own python drawing code, you need to 'import molpub' first before you can use its various interfaces. For specific examples, please see the drawing code in the cases folder.

Hello,

This error occurs because the working directory has not been set to include the'molpub' directory where windows.py is located. There are two simple solutions to resolve this issue:


1. Locate the windows.py file, copy it to a different folder, and execute the copied script using a command prompt.
2. Open the entire project in PyCharm or another Python IDE, and run the windows.py file by clicking the run button in the IDE.

Best regards,
