Here is how to install a Python package for use with Chimera is described in mailing list message http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-dev/2013/000914.html Since Chimera includes its own Python to ensure version compatibility with the dozens of compiled Python modules it uses, you need to install Scipy into the Chimera Python. This means you can't install a binary distribution with "sudo apt-get …". Instead you need to get the Scipy source code and build it specifically for the Chimera version of Python. This is a pain. I have not tried installing Scipy in Chimera so I don't know how many problems you will encounter. Tom On Dec 3, 2013, at 8:08 AM, Xiao-Bo Li <x22li@cs.uwaterloo.ca> wrote:
Hello,
I want to use scipy with Chimera because the QR factorization in numpy does not give a square Q matrix.
However, Chimera does not allow scipy to be imported. The only discussion of scipy I see is a post where you talk about prebuilding Scipy. These instructions are not helpful as I do not know where to set these variables. Can you provide me some more detailed instructions on how to use scipy with Chimera.
I am using Ubuntu linux.
Best,
