This command will return a python list of chains for the given selection.

Proteins structures often have more than one chain of residues present in a structure file. This command will fetch the names of each chain present. Because of the lack of standards, sometimes chain A will also be blank "". This isn't a problem for PyMOL, but be warned sometimes you may get back, [""].
