Hi Elisabeth,
	So you want to select some atoms without selecting the bonds between them.

chimera.selection.addCurrent([atoms])

will add the given atoms to the selection shown in the graphics window without adding the bonds between them.  There is a separate function for adding "implied" elements such as the bonds between selected atoms:  chimera.selection.addImpliedCurrent().
	I hope this is what you meant!
