[BioPython] what should I do next?

All of the corba stuff is being kept in cvs in the biopython-corba 
module. Right now there is nothing much useful there, just some 
skeleton code, but I am trying to rectify that now, and also improve 
the code. But I'll keep that module up to date on what I have.
    As far as test cases go, that would be really spectacular. I'm 
going to try and follow Ewan's suggestion of making a client corba 
interface that models the actual Biopython interface, so hopefully 
most of the test code for Biopython should be able to be used for the 
corba interface (provided the functions are implemented in Biocorba 
:), with just a change in the import:

Biopython: From Bio.Whatever import Whatever
Biopython-corba: From Biocorba.Bio.Whatever import Whatever

At least, this is my plan :-)

All too true... Time seems to be the critical factor (at least for 
me). Everything has to work around my daytime responsiblities, since 
no one wants to pay us to do this :-)
