Title:
  [needs-packaging] No "blender-chemicals" and "BioBlender" in
  repository

Status in blender package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in ubuntustudio-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have an idea that many users may like to use in Blender. Programs
  like Viewmol (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+package/viewmol) and
  Ballview (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+package/ballview)
  display molecules by using chemical file formats like XYZ
  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xyz_file).  Would it be easy to give
  Blender the ability to read a chemical file
  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_file_format) generate a model
  that can be used in Blender. This feature would help animators and
  graphics designers to generate graphics faster because many molecular
  model files can be downloaded freely. Then, this would save designers
  time becasue the molecule would be drawn for the graphics designer.
  Ballview, Viewmol, and numerous other molecular model viewers are open
  source, so the Blender developers should have an easier time
  implementing this idea rather than writting the code from scratch.

  Thank you, and I hope my idea benefits Blender and its users. I am
  willing to be a beta tester for this feature. I am currently learning
  how to use Blender. I am very familiar with molecular model files (I
  own hundreds or more). I know how to use OpenBabel, which is an open-
  source program that converts one molecule model format to another.
  OpenBabel would enable us to test many formats.
