[Chimera-users] .pyc session file

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Luca,
	Chimera doesn’t save .pyc files, it saves .py files.  When Chimera opens a .py file, a “compiled” version — the .pyc file — is created.  .pyc files can be opened in Chimera, but are only guaranteed to open on the same machine that they were originally compiled on.  The error message you got indicates that the .pyc file is not compatible with the machine you are trying to open it on.
