Hai oteri,<br>I tried the way you had suggested but still i get some error. chimera comes with its own python and i dnt know if there is a clash. Could you please write me why this ImportError happens.<br><br>[cbala@RAMANA ~]$ export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/chimera_15/lib:/usr/local/chimera_15/share:$PYTHONPATH<br>

Dear bala, to invoke chimera as a python module ( Question 2) you should execute the following steps:<br>
<br>
1) Finding the root directory of the chimera installation (example:/usr/local/chimera )<br>
2) export LD_LIBRARY=/usr/local/chimera/lib:$LD_LIBRARY<br>
3) export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/chimera/lib:/usr/local/chimera/share:$PYTHONPATH<br>
<br>
The result is:<br>
<br>
oteri@priestley:~$ python<br>

Dear Eric and Elaine,<br><br><b>Thank you so much for your inputs</b>. I could implement the 'weighted distance' representation. I have certain queries. I would appreciate your inputs for the same.<br><br>1) When i type help(object) in chimera's python shell, it shows the help message, is there any to way to make the help information to be displayed in a separate window. I tried in config setting but i couldnt make it.<br>
<br>2) Is there any way to invoke chimera within normal python interpreter. I am able to do this for pymol. But i dnt know if i can do the same with chimera. I tried to set PYTHONPATH, but it vain.<br><br><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">[cbala@RAMANA ~]$ python</span><br style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">

Dear Elaine and Eric,<br>Thanks for the inputs. I started the chimera interface and tried to use the StructureMeasure module using the IDLE that is present in chimera but it shows me import Error. I dnt understand why. I am using chimera 1.5 alpha version 29904. Do i need to set some path to use the module.<br>
