[Chimera-users] Module import error

[Greg Couch]

Change your os.system("chimera ...") to os.system("env PYTHONVERBOSE=1 
chimera ...") and the debugging output might give you a clue.  Feel free 
to send me the voluminous output (and just me, not the whole 
chimera-users list), and I'll let you know if I spot anything.
