[Chimera-users] printing "zone" search

[Ryan]

I am actually currently interested in doing something similar to Francesco's previous question about writing out a list of residue names within a certain zone of a ligand -- however i would like to do this from a Python script.

I tried to find the zone selection command to use in a script, but could not.  Would it be easiest to just use the runCommand('z<') function to select a zone?

Also, when the zone is selected, are the selected residue names stored in a list?  If so, how can i access this list to print out the residue names into an output file of my own?

Thanks a lot,
