Now with taskbar icon!

Small fixes and additions since v0.2.5

• Add: PyChimera logo will be used as taskbar icon!
• Recipe: pin pcre to avoid issues with Jupyter Notebook installations
• Docs: add FAQ on ugly fonts in some cases (bad conda tk)
• Fix: if $CHIMERADIR contains ~, it will be now properly expanded to $HOME. More fixes in OSX support.

PyChimera 0.2: Now with multi-platform support

This release adds (some) support from Mac OSX and Windows. Further testing is advised, and some rough edges can be expected, but now at least is usable. The core logic has been split into separate modules to ease the development process as well, so PR are welcome.

PyChimera

Use UCSF Chimera Python API in any standard Python 2.7 interpreter!

Public pre-release

Use UCSF Chimera packages in any Python 2.7 interpreter

With PyChimera you can...

• Enable import chimera in interactive coding sessions (console, notebooks) outside Chimera. Just call enable_chimera(). Careful! Call it prior to other code or you'll lose your previous work.
• You can also launch Chimera-preenabled IPython sessions or Notebooks with pychimera ipython and pychimera notebook respectively.
• Run scripts depending on chimera from CLI with either pychimera or python -m chimera. This includes modules (-m flag) and strings (-c flag).

I hope it's useful! Feedback is appreciated!
