  Description     : Python modules for computational molecular biology

Project current goals are to develop:

   * The basic data types for biological objects, such as sequences and
     maps,
   * The core analysis tasks, including database record lookup,
     sequence algnment and the ubiquitous BLAST and FASTA interfaces,
   * I/O routines for the standard file formats,
   * Scaffolding to get these parts talking to each other,
   * Freely-available, high-quality, well-documented source code and 
     documentation,
   * A regression suite to tell if we made any stupid mistakes.
