There are several ways to extract or load atomic coordinates in PyMOL using the python API.

Extract coordinates using get_coords

New in PyMOL 1.7.4. This is the fastest method to extract coordinates from a selection. It considers the object rotation matrix. 

xyz = cmd.get_coords('sele', 1)

Extract coordinates using get_coordset

New in PyMOL 1.7.4. Operates on the object-state level, not on selections. Does not consider the object rotation matrix. Retrieves coordinates in original order (e.g. PDB file atom order), not in sorted atom order. Faster than get_coords. 

xyz = cmd.get_coordset(objectname, 1)

Extract coordinates using get_model

Before 1.7.4, this was the fastest method to extract coordinates. It considers the object rotation matrix. 

xyz = cmd.get_model('sele', 1).get_coord_list()

Extract coordinates using iterate_state

This is much slower than the first method. It does not consider the object rotation matrix. 

xyz = []
cmd.iterate_state(1, 'sele', 'xyz.append([x,y,z])', space=locals(), atomic=0)

Load coordinates using alter_state

This is the most convenient way to load coordinates and works equivalent to iterate_state. 

xyz = [...] # some Nx3 list with coordinates
xyz_iter = iter(xyz)
cmd.alter_state(1, 'sele', '(x,y,z) = xyz_iter.next()', space=locals())

Load coordinates using update

This example gets a copy of the coordinates in Python, rotates the object about the Z axis, and then updates the coordinates in the original object. 

model = cmd.get_model('pept')
for a in model.atom:
    a.coord = [ -a.coord[1], a.coord[0], a.coord[2]]

cmd.load_model(model, "_tmp")
cmd.update("pept", "_tmp")
cmd.delete("_tmp")

Load coordinates using load_coords

Changed in PyMOL 1.7.3. Update selection coordinates from a Nx3 float array. 

cmd.load_coords(xyz, selection)

Load coordinates using load_coordset

New in PyMOL 1.7.4. Update object state coordinates from a Nx3 float array. Can also append a state. Order of coordinates equivalent to get_coordset. 

cmd.load_coordset(xyz, objectname, 1)

Load coordinates using get_coordset

New in PyMOL 1.7.4. The get_coordset function can also return a memory view instead of a copy. This allows modifying the coordinates in place. 

xyz = cmd.get_coordset(objectname, 1, copy=0)
xyz[:] = newxyz
