I was running multiple povme processes in the same folder and getting confusing results. I figured out that povme creates a work folder (.povme_tmp) in the current directory with subfolders (i.e. frame_1.pym) only identified by frame number. Since I was running multiple processes, each was overwriting the others and the result was essentially random.

I have now separated my runs into separate working directories, but uniquely identifying the work directory or frame directories with some string unique to the run would eliminate this issue.

Thanks for the suggestion, @rhs2132. If you're still out there -- I agree that attaching a differentiating string to the temporary folder would solve this problem.

Per my comments in #30, it would be good to determine whether this project is worth maintaining. I see that you went and developed PyVol, and it's possible that may be a better place to consolidate effort. Let me know if you have any thoughts.
