Re: [PyMOL] PyMOL Print Limitation

Hi Sean,

PyMOL statically allocates space for I/O.  I think the current line
length is 1024.  I ran into the problem a few years ago myself,
reported it to Warren and he just bumped the line length from 512 to
1024 or something like that.  So, until I come up with a better
solution, we're stuck with the fixed line length.

Cheers,

-- Jason
