[chimera-dev] Opening a *.py file on Windows, Chimera has issues with spaces in name

[Greg Couch]

We haven't tested Chimera on anything before Windows 7 for many years, 
so if your program works on Windows 7, then I'd tell the user to upgrade 
:-(.

But assuming you want to debug this, can you get the exact error the 
user is getting?  That would help narrow down the possibilities a lot.  
A simple test for opening Python files: have your user save a Chimera 
session file and then open it.  Chimera 1 session files are Python 
files, so if that works, there's not a problem opening Python files.

     HTH,

     Greg
