Thank you very much, Tom.<br class="">
<br class="">
I found the folder and added a file 'chimera.pth' to system Python
site-packages with the path to Chimera's site-packages, which also
did the same thing.<br class="">
<br class="">
The whole point for me doing this was to try and take advantage of
Chimera's functionality. I would like to slice closed 3D volumes.
I've looked through the online documentation but have not had
success. Could you please point me in the right direction on how to
achieve this?<br class="">
<br class="">
My input will be <b class="">vertices and polygons</b> together with a
slicing plane and my expected output is the <b class="">contents of the
plane as an 'image'</b><b class=""> or set or polygons</b>.<br class="">
<br class="">
Many thanks.<br class="">

Hi Paul,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""> The error means that you have two different
colorbrewer Python modules and Chimera is getting the one that
didn’t come with Chimera. I see the Chimera colorbrewer.py file
in</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>/Applications/Chimera.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/site-packages/colorbrewer.py</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">But I’m guessing you have the following colorbrewer
module which is completely different from the Chimera one
installed with your system Python</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/colorbrewer/" class=""></a><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/colorbrewer/">https://pypi.python.org/pypi/colorbrewer/</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">In order for Chimera modules to work from the system
Python it will be necessary that Chimera finds its own Python
modules. So you should put the above Chimera site-packages
directory in front of Python system locations in the Python
search path sys.path. I would put this in your script that
starts Chimera using the system Python, something like</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">import sys</div>
<div class="">sys.path.insert(0,
'/Applications/Chimera.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/site-packages’)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">

I want to use the chimera API and I've managed to
configure a successful import of chimera except that I
get that colorbrewer is not installed. <br class="">
<br class="">

Traceback (most recent call last):<br class="">

What is the right way to go about this? (I could create
a symbolic link to my system colorbrewer, but that
doesn't seem clean).<br class="">
