Conversion of Chimera session .py file to Pymol .pse file

Dear UMSF Chimera Users, I would like to ask how to convert Chimera session .py file into .pse Pymol format? I have a few saved Chimera sessions, my approach was to save protein coordinates in .pdb format and subsequently read them in Pymol 2.0 to save as Pymol session, but during this procedure all informations about specific colouring of chains and other settings are lost. May I ask about possibilities for direct import Chimera .py files into Pymol without losing saved settings? I would be very grateful for any help and advice. Best regards, Joanna Smietanska

Sorry, we do not provide any tool for converting UCSF Chimera sessions to Pymol sessions. It is not clear what you plan to do in Pymol -- maybe you can use Chimera instead. We are not Pymol experts and can only advise on how to do things in Chimera. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.
