[chimerax-users] Python API Inquiry

Hi Nathan,

  I guess you are not using the Python that comes with ChimeraX.  You should start ChimeraX and use the ChimeraX command "open /path/to/myscript.py" to open it.

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.
