Hi Evan, That code only works in the context of Chimera’s Python interpreter, not a generic Python interpreter. So like it says in the example, “to execute the script, either open the script file with the File→Open menu item or with the open command”. Third parties have developed modules to allow Chimera modules to be used in standard Python interpreters. One such package is pychimera, <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pychimera/0.2.0> which can be installed via pypi. Chimera only supports Python2. ChimeraX uses Python3. —Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab

Hi - I’m trying to follow Example 1 on http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ProgrammersGuide/Examples/index.html <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ProgrammersGuide/Examples/index.html>, but after entering the code precisely as it is written, am getting back the ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘chimera’.
I’ve tried running the script using both Python2.7 and Python3, and both have resulted in the same error. As a sub-question, is Chimera supported in Python3, or is it best practice to still use Python2?
Thank you, Evan Seitz
