DetailsDescription:
trying to start pymol rise the error: AttributeError: module 'sys' has no attribute 'setcheckinterval' pymol doesn't start Additional info: * package version(s) x86_64 Community pymol 2.3.0-4 Molecular visualization system on an Open Source foundation 2020-12-02 2019-05-27 Steps to reproduce: sudo pacman -Suy pymol pymol I commented the line 572 from the file /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pymol/__init__.py since the sys.setcheckinterval seems to be deprecated https://bugs.python.org/issue37392 Then pymol start. There is still some warning about libtk8.6.so but doesn't seems to be a problem and related. Maybe the package extra/tk should be a dependency (once installed pymol doesn't complain anymore about libtk8.6) |

This should be solved in the new PyMol version (v2.4.0), as per https://github.com/schrodinger/pymol-open-source/commit/deabfe3f92610a613a6e65e8b462c0dc349e8871

Hi, I have pushed pymol 2.4.0 a few days ago. Can you confirm it fixes your problem? I tried it on my machine when I bumped it and it started fine.
