[chimera-dev] changing position for a residue using python

[Elaine Meng]

Hi JD,
I can't say anything about python, but maybe you could just use the Chimera command "resrenumber" (GUI is Tools... Structure Editing... Renumber Residues) instead?

For example: 

resrenumber 231 :.b

to renumber chain B starting at 231.  I guess you could run the command via python if necessary.

As I feared, when looping other residue to change res.id.position, my script fails as position can not be modified. How could I do this? Should I delete position and re-create it?
