10017	Better separation between BLAST jobs and the GUI	Zach Pearson	Zach Pearson	"From Tom:

I was trying to BLAST 31 protein sequences today using some ChimeraX Python and analyze which PDB files contained more than one of these proteins - a pretty simple task.  But I had to spend an hour hacking down blastprotein code to get something usable -- the current code seems to only be intended for use in the GUI context.  It would be nice if sequence searches were easy to do from Python without the GUI.  Below is code I slapped together by starting from blastprotein/job.py and deleting.  Ideally there would be a Python API that just does a search and gives Python results in ChimeraX."	defect	assigned	moderate		Infrastructure				Tom Goddard				all	ChimeraX
