I've got bits of one for SeqIO, unfinished.  There are a lot of tricky
little problems when trying to write a SeqRecord which didn't
originally come from a GenBank or EMBL file - e.g. identifiers that
are too long.  I do still want to finish this, and I should have more
free time in a couple of months.

You could try using the GenBank Record objects (not SeqRecord
objects), and writing them to file.
