[Chimera-users] defining attribute from python

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Francisca,
	What you want to do is pretty much covered in Chimera’s “basic programming primer”:  Very Basic Chimera Programming Primer <https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ProgrammersGuide/basicPrimer.html>
The only thing I would add is that depending on your needs you might benefit from using the “--script” argument (follow the “--nogui” link in the primer to see other possible command line args, such as “--script”).
	You save Python sessions with the “save” command and WebGL HTML with the “export” command.
