Sorry, that's not possible for Chimera. Chimera uses MMTK for energy minimization and molecular dynamics, and from the MMTK website, https://bitbucket.org/khinsen/mmtk:
MMTK is NOT compatible with NumPy 1.9 or later, because it relies on a submodule of NumPy that was removed in version 1.9. So upgrading numpy will break other functionality within Chimera. If you're not using energy minimization nor molecular dynamics, you can try updating your copy of Chimera's numpy as described recently in Jaime Rodríguez-Guerra's reply, http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2016-November/012852.html, to your previous question on chimera-users.
ChimeraX, our in-development successor to Chimera, does use the latest numpy. ChimeraX's availability will be announced on the chimera-announce mailing list. HTH, Greg On 11/07/2016 01:08 AM, Michał Kadlof wrote:
Hello,
is it possible to upgrade built-in numpy in chimera python from version 1.7.0b2 to current version 1.11.2 in close future? This week preferably?
