[chimera-dev] ChimeraX

hi matthew,

for development you can use the pip of chimerax to install external 
tools, but pip is not directly accessible:
   ChimeraX -m pip install ...
or
   ${CHIMERAX}/bin/python3.5 ${CHIMERAX}/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pip 
install ...
CHIMERAX points to my installationpath on the harddisk and the package 
finally goes into the chimerax python tree.
the second method does not refresh the chimerax cache.

but maybe its better to put the dependency into the deployment of your tool
in setup.py (e.g. i need pyparsing by pip):
     install_requires=['pyparsing', 'ChimeraX-Core>=0.1'],

cheers,
wolfgang
