So I asked Andrew about PyMol. Here's what he said: ------- Forwarded Message

Or anything else about it? I do not know. My knowledge of that field is rather dated now. The best I can find in a quick search is a RasMol -> PyMol converter in 2,600 lines of Python, at http://sourceforge.net/projects/sbevsl/files/ConSCRIPT/ConSCRIPT-1.0/ConSCRIPT_17Jun10/ https://ritdml.rit.edu/bitstream/handle/1850/9019/SMottarellaAbstract2008.pdf?sequence=8 and quoting from http://blondie.dowling.edu/docman/view.php/24/692/ACA_JUL09.ppt The latest version of ConSCRIPT has coded for almost all of the commands possible in RasMol. While support for some remains minimal, included some that only return incompatibility errors, most commands, including most of those that directly manipulate the image, are supported. Here are some of the commands that have recently been added. I have no experience with it. The review at https://www.mail-archive.com/jmol-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg16583.html says its works quite well. I don't know how portable it is to the Chime commands.
