[chimerax-users] Python API Inquiry

[Nathan Wood]

To Whom it May Concern,


My name is Nathan Wood and I am currently a Google Summer of Code Intern
with the OpenChemistry Group. Currently I am currently in the process of
replacing Visualizing Molecular Dynamics (VMD) with ChimeraX as a means
to visualizing computationally generated electrostatic potential
diagrams. To accomplish this I am having to use the Python API in a script.


However, I am having difficulties enabling the Python API. When I
execute a Tutorials example found in the online developer's
documentation, I receive the error:

/ImportError: No module named chimerax.core.commands//
/

which suggests that the python modules were never installed properly. I
also recieve similar errors when attempting to import the toolshed.

Otherwise, the ChimeraX GUI and its shell work properly and I am unsure
how to resolve the API error.

I am currently using the Generic Linux 64 Bit Daily Release and can
provide more information if necessary.


Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
