Hi Edmund,

        Actually, PyMOL uses a set of stored coordinates for fragments
and residues.  They can be found in $PYMOL_PATH/data/chempy/fragments.
The files have .pkl extensions, which stands for pickled chempy model.
These files can be viewed directly in PyMOL, or can be introspected by
unpickling them in a Python interpreter.

Cheers,
Warren
