Can you delete a residue attribute?
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?

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. —Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab

Okay, I have changed ~setattr in a non-backwards-compatible way. It now completely deletes the requested attributes in all objects of the requested type. It no longer takes an atom spec. Consequently, the normal setattr command has been enhanced to allow the value set to be “none” (i.e. Python None), which is what ~setattr used to do. Available in the next daily build. —Eric
