So I asked Andrew about PyMol.  Here's what he said:

I do not know. My knowledge of that field is rather dated now. The
best I can find in a quick search is a RasMol -> PyMol converter in
2,600 lines of Python, at

  http://sourceforge.net/projects/sbevsl/files/ConSCRIPT/ConSCRIPT-1.0/ConSCRIPT_17Jun10/
  https://ritdml.rit.edu/bitstream/handle/1850/9019/SMottarellaAbstract2008.pdf?sequence=8

and quoting from http://blondie.dowling.edu/docman/view.php/24/692/ACA_JUL09.ppt

The latest version of ConSCRIPT has coded for almost all of the
commands possible in RasMol.  While support for some remains minimal,
included some that only return incompatibility errors, most commands,
including most of those that directly manipulate the image, are
supported.  Here are some of the commands that have recently been
added.

I have no experience with it. The review at
  https://www.mail-archive.com/jmol-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg16583.html
says its works quite well.

I don't know how portable it is to the Chime commands.

Cheers,
