Hi Noel

I tried replacing

pybel.readstring('smi', str(v_name)).draw(show=False, filename=img_path)

with

pybel.readstring('smi', str(v_name)).draw(show=False, filename=img_path, 
formatok=obConversion.SetOutFormat("_png2"))

but I got the error "draw() got an unexpected keyword argument 
'formatok'". I expected it, because there is no formatok argument in the 
documentation for draw [1].

I also tried calling formatok  =  obconversion.SetOutFormat("_png2") 
before draw, but I got the original error:

ImportError: PNG output format not found. You should compile Open Babel
with PNG support. See installation instructions for more information.

Could you explain to me how/where should I use formatok?

Thanks

Carolina
