Use UCSF Chimera packages in any Python 2.7 interpreter
.. image:: docs/img/pychimera.gif
With PyChimera you can…
pychimera script.py.import chimera in interactive coding sessions outside UCSF Chimera,
including IPython and Jupyter Notebooks.conda or virtualenv packages with pychimera --gui.I hope it’s useful! Feedback is appreciated!
The updated documentation is always available at readthedocs_.
Largely based on ideas by Greg Couch at chimera-users_.
