[Chimera-users] PyChimera addCharge

[Elaine Meng]

In case you didn't already know, PyChimera has its own User Guide here:

<https://pychimera.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>

PyChimera is developed by our friends in Barcelona (Maréchal group).

For examples, Joe Healey has some PyChimera scripts on github, but they may not be similar to what you want to do:
