ref path for r2d #5

Closed attentionbydesign closed 2 months ago

attentionbydesign commented 2 months ago

using ../ref/color_key.txt for example works fine when opening the colorbyseq.py script and running from the IDLE in chimera, but unable to locate when running as a function of the parent module. E.g., tymera.ColorBySeq.colorbyseq() returns error that ../ref/color_key.txt is not found. Perhaps imported modules aren't run from the directory they exist in? In which case, could maybe add in a os.chdir or find out a way to automatically use whatever sys.path item leads to tymera/, then define all paths starting from there?

able to use os.path.dirname(file) to get the path that contains the current script, but would be nice to be able to define the tymera_path/ one time globally, and have it work for each package, module, function, etc.

created commonfunctions.py in tymera/ which defines r2d

from tymera.commonfunctions import r2d

seems to work from any script now
