Hello!
I have problems with the Chimera extension to sparky. Which version of
Chimera is recommended with Sparky 3.114, please? Thank you very much
for your help! Elsa Barany-Wallje

Hi Elsa,

The Sparky manual does not say what version of Chimera will work with
Sparky 3.114.

Quite possibly there is no version of Chimera that will work. One
requirement is that Sparky and Chimera must use the same Python
version. Sparky 3.114 uses Python 2.5. Chimera started using Python
2.5 after Chimera version 1.2492 (Feb 2008). But Chimera required its
own custom modified version of Python for a long period. Also Sparky
has not been developed for about 6 years, while Chimera has been so the
the communication between Sparky and Chimera probably does not work for
any recent versions of Chimera.

So I suggest the only way this will work is if you get an older
version of Sparky and older version of Chimera as listed in the Sparky
manual.
