[Chimera-users] suppressing warning messages

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Ryan,
	Perhaps other Chimera developers can chime in, but I don't know of  
any good way to selectively suppress the non-status messages that  
Chimera generates, particularly the "duplicate atom serial number"  
messages which are being put on standard error by code in the C++ layer.
	What I can suggest in your situation is that you have your print  
statements go to standard error (so that they flush through pipes  
immediately) and that you prefix them with some unique string that  
you can grep for.  Something like:

	from sys import __stderr__ as stderr
	print>>stderr, "OUTPUT", "my result:", r

and run Chimera with:

	chimera --nogui myscript.py |& grep OUTPUT

--Eric
