[Biopython-dev] Support for standalone version of AlignACE motif search program

[Jeffrey Chang]

Hey Bartek,

Your package looks very nice.  I'd be happy to check it in under 
Bio.AlignAce.  I am getting ready to put out a release, so it will have 
to be done after that goes out.

Please take a look at the documentation for contributing code to 
Biopython the website at:
http://www.biopython.org/docs/developer/contrib.html

In particular, please read the "Submitting Code" section and make sure 
you agree with it.  Mostly, it is just to make sure that you want to 
support your code, and that you agree to the Biopython license.  Let me 
know if everything seems good to you.

Jeff
