+==== TODO: launching spyder within Chimera ====
+
+Eric and I tried a few things, including launching Chimera from within spyder and also launching spyder from within Chimera-IDLE using.  For the latter option, we tried:
+{{{
+>>> import sys
+>>> sys.path.append('/home/dweber/src/chimera-virtualenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/')
+>>> from spyderlib import spyder
+>>> spyder.main()
+}}}
+
+Then within the spyder we tried:
+{{{
+>>> import sys
+>>> import os
+>>> sys.path.append(os.path.join(os.getenv('CHIMERA'), 'share'))
+>>> sys.path.append(os.path.join(os.getenv('CHIMERA'), 'lib'))
+>>> sys.path
+>>> import chimera
+>>> chimera.runCommand('open 1gcn')
+}}}
+
+This command appeared to run and provide status in the Chimera main window, but the display did not update to show the molecule.  So, we ran into issues with process communication or something.
+
+Looking at the Chimera-IDLE extension, we may need to hook some kind of spyder-shell into the chimera.replyobj.  The spyder does have a startup option for --light, which seems to provide a basic shell-like interface.  Of course, that may be no better than IDLE, so that could be pointless.  The goal is to get up all the IDE features of spyder.
