Hi Mungo,

Yeah, the command language lacks any way to completely delete an attribute.  I could enhance ~setattr to also allow deletion, but before I do that work, can you describe why you need to completely delete the attribute rather than set its value to None?  Thanks.

Hi,

I would like to be able to set and remove residue attributes (using Chimera commands over the REST service).

Setting is fine, but removing seems to be limited to changing the value to either an empty string or None.

https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/current/docs/UsersGuide/midas/setattr.html

Is there any way to actually remove attributes after they have been set on residues?

Thanks,

Mungo
