Hi Greg,
Thanks for your quick response.
I look forward to more flexible version of the command.
For the second point, atoms 6 and 8 can be inverted by RDKit_2015_03_1.

0
>>> Chem.MolToSmiles(Chem.RemoveHs(m), isomericSmiles=True)
'C1[C@H]2[C@@H]3O[C@@H]3[C@@H]1[C@]13O[C@]21[C@@H]1C[C@H]3[C@@H]2O[C@@H]21'

This conformation is different from that of
'C1[C@H]2[C@@H]3O[C@@H]3[C@@H]1[C@@]13O[C@@]21[C@@H]1C[C@H]3[C@@H]2O[C@@H]21'
in previous mail.
It is strange at first glance that such atoms on the axis of symmetry
have chirality.
But RDKit judges atoms 6 and 8 as achiral in the following two isomers
with lower symmetry.
C1[C@@H]2[C@@H]3O[C@@H]3[C@H]1C13OC21[C@@H]1C[C@H]3[C@H]2O[C@H]21
C1[C@@H]2[C@H]3O[C@H]3[C@H]1C13OC21[C@@H]1C[C@H]3[C@@H]2O[C@@H]21
Rigards,
