I'm not aware of any Biopython code for CAF contig files.  However,
have a look at http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Software/formats/CAF/userguide.shtml
where some perl tools are described, including some for converting CAF
into other formats.

We do have ACE and PHRED (used by PHRAP) parsers in Bio.Sequencing, so
adding Bio.Sequencing.CAF might be logical.
