For getting attribute keys, most decorators have methods to retrieve the keys they use eg Chain::get_id_key(). Some decorators may be missing those, please report ones you encounter which do.

Is there a nicer way to get a keyType for instance from its string ? In my example, I retrieved chainKey as the third element of the integer keys list returned by get_int_attributes(), this is not very satisfying, and I thought of resorting to a function such as : >>> >>> def getChainKey( chain ): >>> for k in chain.get_int_attributes() : >>> if k.get_string() == 'chain' : >>> return k >>> return None >>> >>> Still, I wonder if there is an IMP mechanism I am not aware of, that I should prefer instead. > > --Ben.S > _______________________________________________ > IMP-users mailing list > IMP-users@salilab.org > https://salilab.org/mailman/listinfo/imp-users
