[chimerax-users] capture reply from run(session, command)

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Sean,
	That command returns information about the matching, as documented in the doc string for the chimerax.match_maker.match() function, the pertinent part of which I've pasted below.  Note that unless you use tonight's daily build you will have to use 'matchmaker' instead of 'mmaker' as the command name.  'mmaker' is an alias, and return values from aliases were being mistakenly embedded into two extra levels of lists.

       Returns a list of dictionaries, one per chain pairing.  The dictionaries are:
       {
         "full ref atoms": chimerax.atomic.Atoms
         "full match atoms": chimerax.atomic.Atoms
         "final ref atoms": chimerax.atomic.Atoms
         "final match atoms": chimerax.atomic.Atoms
         "final RMSD": float
         "full RMSD": float
         "transformation matrix": chimerax.geometry.Place
         "aligned ref seq": chimerax.atomic.StructureSeq
         "aligned match seq": chimerax.atomic.StructureSeq
       }
       "full" is before iteration pruning and "final" is afterward.
