Hi Matt, If you run “chimera —send somecode.py” from a shell it will try to use a socket to send the Python file to an already running Chimera. Writing code to establish your own socket connection will be a major pain. It has to be integrated into the Tk event loop. You’d probably be better off sending Chimera an http request using the Chimera RESTServer capability described here http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/restserver/restserv... An older mechanism of talking to Chimera by sending commands to it standard input (stdin), but this requires starting Chimera with another process piping the commands to Chimera. http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/readstdin/readstdin... I recommend trying RESTServer. Tom On Mar 26, 2014, at 2:37 AM, Dougherty, Matthew T wrote:
Hi,
I just purchased a Tangent Wave that I plan to interface into chimera.
The best design is to use sockets. Is there any precedence for using sockets in chimera?
