Personally, if I need to change a chain ID, I can use Coot or pdbset or many other tools. Writing code for this should only be necessary if you're processing large numbers of models, or have a spectacularly

Problem.  Coot is bad at the chain label aspect.
Create a pdb file containing residues A1-A20 and X101-X120 - non-overlapping numbering.
Try to change the chain label of X to A.
I get "WARNING:: CONFLICT: chain id already exists in this molecule"


Having had to show this to a student today, it does work fine if you select the "Use Residue Range" option rather than changing the whole chain. Not quite so convenient, but at least it makes the user think.
