[Biopython-dev] flex, setup.py and Bio.PDB.mmCIF (Bug 2619)

[Michiel de Hoon]

With Biopython 1.61 now out, perhaps this is a good time to tackle Bio.PDB.mmCIF? This module uses flex to generate the parser; I would like to replace this with a plain C module, or perhaps with a pure-Python parser. This issue was previously discussed here:

Or is anybody else already looking at this module?

Best,
-Michiel.
