[chimera-dev] [Chimera-users] PDB data

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Matt,
	You can find out about the (C++) attributes/methods of a class by  
using help() in the IDLE interpreter, e.g.:

help(chimera.Residue)

There is also declaration of the Python-visible attributes of Atom/ 
Residue/etc. in the source distribution in libs/_chimera/pyinterface.   
The more convenient way nowadays to get pyinterface is by browsing our  
SVN repository, i.e. from:

/trunk/libs/_chimera/pyinterface – Chimera

The other thing you might want to know that seems germane to your  
specific query is that the PDB headers are stored in the pdbHeaders  
dictionary in Molecule (key: header type [e.g. REMARK], value: list of  
strings).
