Why does it return a tuple of two ints for each element? Could you answer this by enhancing the help documentation on that method?

Thanks, Darren

As shown in the Model Panel, all models have a numerical ID number and submodel number (http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/modelpanel.html). The first int in the tuple is the ID number and the second int is the submodel number.

As for enhancing the help documentation, since this method is a wrapped C++ method, it's dependent on improving our Python wrapper generator and that is currently a low priority item.
