[modeller_usage] how to generate the ini file only

Hello all,

Does anyone know how to ask modeller to generate the ini file and stop?

I tried the following but failed:

a = automodel(env, alnfile='my_alignment.ali', > knowns='3mrb', sequence='query', > assess_methods=assess.DOPE) > aln = alignment(env) > aln.append(file='T3mrb_Q1duz.ali') > a.transfer_xyz(aln)

Best,

Li
