[BioPython] Old Biopython code for EBI Bibliographics services

Dear list,

We have an old module Bio/biblio.py written by Tiaan Wessels back in
2002 (during a South African hackathon).  This is code to use some EBI
Bibliographics services, but currently no longer works.  At the very
least, the EBI have changed the URLs for their SOAP services.  I got
in touch with the author by email, and he no longer uses the code and
thought we could remove it.

Does anyone on the list still use Bio/biblio.py?

Would anyone like to take a more in depth look at the code, and the
current EBI web API, and see if there is anything in Bio.biblio worth
keeping?

If not, I'm proposing we mark this as deprecated for the next release
of Biopython.

Thanks,

Peter
