  Biopython - BioPython
The Biopython Project is an international association of developers of freely available Python tools for computational molecular biology.
The source code is made available under the Biopython License, which is extremely liberal and compatible with almost every license in the world.
The latest release is Biopython 1.42, released on 16 July 2006.

 Chapter 13. Biopython, continued
One of the reasons there are so many parsers available is that Biopython relies on Martel (by Andrew Dalke), a scanner generator.
For this purpose, we will build a simple parser for the Enzyme database, that is only able to store the enzyme ID and the references of an entry to other databases.
In Biopython, parsing is often organized according to an event/callback model, one component, often called the scanner, generating parsing events when encountering a tag, and another component, often called the consumer, receiving and handling these events.

 The Scientist : Biopython Hits Version 1.3
Hosted by the Open Bioinformatics Foundation (OBF), Biopython is an international effort to build reusable, open-source tools and libraries for bioinformaticians using an interpreted language called Python http://www.python.org.
The clustering library is also written in C and supports biological algorithms such as hierarchical and k-means clustering, and self-organizing maps.
Biopython programs can run on any platform for which a Python interpreter exists, including Windows, Mac OS, Linux (and other Unix variants), and OS/2.

Biopython is a collection of Python modules which implement useful code for dealing with biological data (running remote database queries, manipulating biological sequences, etc).
Biopython does not yet have all the utilities which the longer established Bioperl project has.
The goal of this project is to extend Biopython's capabilities to better handle interacting with computer programs for aligning biological sequences.

 Bioinformatics - Tools, softwares & Programmes
Biopython and biojava are open source projects with very similar goals to bioperl.
With the development of interface objects and biocorba, it is possible to write java or python objects which can be accessed by a bioperl script, or to call bioperl objects from java or python code.
Since biopython and biojava are more recent projects than bioperl, most effort to date has been to port bioperl functionality to biopython and biojava rather than the other way around.

 The Third Bit » Blog Archive » Contributing to Open Source
I first ran into Biopython when I started working in the Botany Department at U of T. Perl is the language of (no) choice for bioinformatic projects simply because the BioPerl modules are so mature.
When I investigated Python, I found a Biopython project had already started and was playing catch up to BioPerl.
The problem was of course that Biopython was still quite a bit behind its older brother.

Hello, I have searched through Biopython and have not been able to find an OBO file format parser (see http://www.geneontology.org/GO.format.shtml).

The alignments are subsequently processed by the Bio.CAPS module, which we created and have submitted to the Biopython repository [13].
The Bio.CAPS package can also utilize Biopython's Bio.Emboss.Primer module, a wrapper for a primer design program called Primer3 [12], so that primers may be generated using a need_primers call.
When the user asks for CAPS markers to be created, many Biopython modules are employed in series to generate a marker set.

 [BioPython] Updates to the source tree   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
I was also going to try and get biopython-corba ready so it was distutils friendly, but I'm not positive how we want biopython-corba to be related to biopython.
The way it is set up right now, the biopython-corba stuff would go in a separate directory in site-packages (Biocorba) from the main biopython package (which goes in Bio).
The reason I thought this was a good idea is that then you can call the "biopython-lookalike" interface with code like: from Biocorba.Bio.Seq import Seq So to change Biocorba code to Biopython code, you would just have to drop the Biocorba part of the import.

 [Tutor] Simple string processing problem   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Hello Chris, Since this does look like a biologically-driving example, you may want to make sure that no one else has already done this work for you.
BioPython is a collections of programs written for bioinformatics work in Python: http://biopython.org/ and you may want to just double check to see if someone has already done the work in parsing that data.
If so, you should be aware that a Biopython parser does exist in the 'Bio.Clustalw' module package: http://biopython.org/docs/api/public/Bio.Clustalw-module.html And if you are willing to look at BioPython, then take a look at section 11.6.2 of: http://www.pasteur.fr/recherche/unites/sis/formation/python/ch11s06.html for an example of parsing a CLUSTALW file with BioPython.

 Python course in Bioinformatics
What distinguishes this course from general Python introductory courses, is however the important focus on biological examples that are used throughout the course, as well as the suggested exercises drawn from the field of biology.
The second half of the course describes the Biopython (http://www.biopython.org/) set of modules.
This course can be considered a complement to the Biopython tutorial, and what's more often refers to it, by bringing practical exercises using these components.

I don't know of a repo with biopython and dependencies.
I don't know about their quality; that is, whether they have Biopython's dependencies listed properly.
Also, since Biopython uses distutils, you could probably make your own RPM from the source tarball by issuing the command "python setup.py bdist_rpm" in the source directory that setup.py is in.
