Use UCSF Chimera packages in any Python 2.7 interpreter

With PyChimera you can…

Run scripts depending on chimera from CLI with pychimera script.py.
Enable import chimera in interactive coding sessions outside UCSF Chimera, including IPython and Jupyter Notebooks.
Launch a standard UCSF Chimera instance, with the benefit of importing all your conda or virtualenv packages with pychimera --gui.

I hope it’s useful! Feedback is appreciated!
