Hi Javi,

  The normal way to work with Python in Chimera is to start Chimera and
then show the Chimera Python shell (called IDLE) using menu entry

	Tools / General Controls / IDLE

There is no need to set a CHIMERA environment variable.  This uses the
Python that is included in the Chimera distribution.

  Utilizing Chimera modules with your own copy of Python is problematic
because the current Chimera uses a modified version of Python.
