I am trying to write a python script, which can select base pairs in DNA
and then give them different colors according to some parameter values.
 
But I don't know how to select base pairs in the specific chain of a DNA,
as a DNA molecules always contains two or more chains in PDB bank.
 That's to say, if I JUST know a base pair that is No.24 in chain,
what should I write in python script to select it and give it some color.

And does python in VMD provide as extensive scripting components as Tcl
does?

I am looking for the reply.
