Using Chimera's python.exe does not work as you noticed. You need to use chimera.exe instead, but note that "chimera.exe --nogui" gives you a Chimera command line prompt instead of a Python command line prompt, so you need to use a Python script. See my answer from yesterday, http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2014-July/010120.html, about using Python modules in Chimera.

Bonne Chance,

Greg
