Hello, I'm fairly new to modeller, and I'm trying to run a parallel job. I can't seem to get the 'from modeller.parallel import *' line to work. When I input it, no models are created. I have python 3.8 installed, and I'm not sure why it's happening. My script is below.

from modeller import * from modeller.automodel import * from modeller.parallel import *

j= job() j.append(local_slave()) j.append(local_slave()) j.append(local_slave())

log.verbose()

env = environ()

env.io.atom_files_directory = ['.', './template_struc']

# create a subclass of automodel or loopmodel, MyModel. # user can further modify the MyModel class, to override certain routine. class MyModel(automodel): def customised_function(self): pass #code overrides the special_restraints method

#def special_restraints(self, aln):

#code overrides the special_patches method. # e.g. to include the addtional disulfides. #def special_patches(self, aln):

a = MyModel(env, sequence = tarSeq, # alignment file with template codes and target sequence alnfile = 'alignment.ali', # PDB codes of the templates knowns = template) # index of the first model a.starting_model = 1 # index of the last model a.ending_model = 100 loopRefinement = False

# Assesses the quality of models using # the DOPE (Discrete Optimized Protein Energy) method (Shen & Sali 2006) # and the GA341 method (Melo et al 2002, John & Sali 2003) a.assess_methods = (assess.GA341, assess.normalized_dope)

a.use_parallel_job(j) a.make()

I'm still figuring my way out around this. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
