In the long term we do intend to have something along those lines in lieu of the simple “Python scripts page” that we have for Chimera. It may be awhile though.  We also have to work out how to allow relevant people to edit it without allowing everyone on the internet to edit it…

Hi Eric,

Thank you for your reply! We're generally looking for a script library/repository similar to what PyMOL's wiki has (https://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Category:Script_Library). Some scripts we use already have a command in ChimeraX with the same functionality. An example of a script we use in PyMOL would be BbPlane, however we're more interested in script libraries as a general resource rather than replacing exact scripts, as we use so many different scripts in the course. Like I said, I understand that ChimeraX is still in early stages so we're more looking to get a sense of whether this kind of feature will ever exist.

Hi Lauren,
If you outlined the missing features you would need, we could provide
some idea if those features will become available soon or…  not
soon.

Hello,
I am a teaching assistant with the University of Oregon for our
Structural Biochemistry course. Currently, the course is taught
using PyMOL, but we would like to transfer to ChimeraX in the
future. A large portion of the course relies on publically available
scripts designed for PyMOL that currently do not have equivalents
for ChimeraX. We are wondering if there are plans to have a ChimeraX
wiki with scripting resources similar to PyMOL at some point, or
whether we'd need to write any python scripts ourselves? Of course I
understand that ChimeraX is still developing, I'd just like to get a
sense of whether we can reasonably transfer the course to ChimeraX
in the future. Thank you for your time.
Best,
