Hi Luca, Unfortunately (as the message suggests) a .pyc file from one computer may not be usable on a different computer. As I understand it, the .py file must have existed at some point, because the .pyc file is created from the .py file. I think you could recreate the .py file by opening the .pyc file on the original computer and saving session again, but I realize that might not be possible or convenient.

Hi, How can I open in Chimera a saved .pyc session file? When I try, Chimera reports the following error message:
Error while processing /Users/lp212/Dropbox/<filename.pyc>: .pyc files are not portable; please use .py file instead
Unfortunately I don’t have the .py file, Chimera doesn’t seem to have saved it (not sure why).
Thanks, Luca
