I have not used the python extensions in a while. It's possible there needs to 
be some updating with different versions of Boost::Python. I take it from your 
message that you're creating new atoms using Python (i.e. the tinker xyz file 
is read through Python, not Avogadro and Open Babel), correct?

This would be great. We have some introductory support for the HISTORY 
trajectory files from DL_POLY, and certainly there are others who desire to 
retrieve data from hdf5 as well.
