Great. Thanks a lot. We using both of them 1) using a web service and 2) running the program on the local machine. Quoting Conrad Huang <conrad@cgl.ucsf.edu>:
Chimera has code for running jobs in the background while keeping the GUI active. Some of this code is still under development and I would suggest using the daily build rather than 1.4.1. Here are the relevant modules and an example:
chimera.SubprocessMonitor Module for running and monitoring background process chimera.tasks Module for display background tasks in the task manager interface chimera.printer SubprocessMonitor is used in saveImage() to launch background POV-Ray
If you are using a web service rather than running the program on the local machine, there are other modules that may be of interest.

Dear Chimera developers. Me and of my students are developing a chimera extension to deal with protein structures. Unfortunately, the execution of our plunging last at least 5 minutes, so during this time the chimera program is hinged. We would like to execute the program in an asynchronous way.
Is it possible?
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require further information about our project.
Best regards, Marcin Pawlowski
