Your collaborator is using Chimera, not ChimeraX, and is saving a Chimera session, which ChimeraX cannot read. Either your collaborator needs to start using ChimeraX or you need to use Chimera. Depending on what a "modified file" really means, it may be possible for Chimera to write out other types of files than ChimeraX can read.

Hello,

I am collaborating with someone using ChimeraX on a Mac. Their only option to save modified files results in a .py file extension. When I try to open .py files on my Windows install of ChimeraX I get an error:

“ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cPickle'”

Is there a way to manually install cPickle on my Windows computer that will allow me to open the .py files, or are Mac & PC not compatible?

Thanks,

Jason
