Chimera includes Python. I'm not sure what path you are asking about. Two ways to use Python in Chimera are 1) use File / Open to open a Python script (myfile.py). This will run the Python code. Print statements from the code will appear in the Reply Log (shown with menu entry Favorites / Reply Log). To directly work with a Python shell within Chimera use menu entry Tools / General Controls / IDLE. IDLE is the name of a Python shell developed by others. That gives you a window with a Python prompt where you can type in Python code and run it and explore Chimera data structures. Tom
I'm wondering about several question: I installed chimera in my home dir, what's path to import in python? how can I access the data generated by mscalc in python?
