    <p>Yes, Chimera's Python code is only "warrantied" to work with its

      and came up with pychimera, <a
        href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pychimera">https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pychimera</a>. 
      I haven't checked to see how it handles all of my caveats, and it
      can't completely without using a modified Python, but I suspect
      that it would be good enough for you.</p>

        <p>Hi Eric,</p>
        <p><br>
        </p>
        <p>That looks good thank you. I think I'm going about this
          slightly the wrong way after some investigation however.</p>
        <p><br>
        </p>
        <p>Am I right in thinking that chimera can't be imported in to
          python inside a normal bash shell, and rather it must be done
          the other way round? So file manipulation and such must be
          done by calls to the system from within the chimera python
          shell, rather than a python interpreter calling chimera
          modules in?</p>
        <p><br>
        </p>
        <p>It certainly makes the chimera steps I plan to do much
          easier, but I was going to include it in a pipeline with some
          other programs and it makes that a little more taxing (though
          not insurmountable!).</p>
        <p><br>
        </p>
        <p>Additionally, I plan to invoke this inside a script on a
          headless linux box (hence why running it through a python
          script was ideal), so whatever solution I use will need to be
          'command line friendly'.</p>
        <p><br>
        </p>
        <p>In effect all I need is the actual algorithm for the matching
          process to be accessed somehow from a python script.</p>
        <p><br>
        </p>
        <p>Do you have any advice about how best to proceed?</p>
        <p><br>
        </p>
        <p>Many thanks,</p>
