[Biopython] ASN.1 and Entrez SNP

Hi,

Just a simple question:
Entrez SNP seems to return ASN.1 format only.
Is there any way to parse this in biopython? I've looked at SeqIO and
found nothing...
I can think of tools to process this outside, but I am just curious if
this is processed natively with Biopython (being an exposed NCBI
format...)

Many thanks,
Tiago
PS - You can easily try this with:
hdl = Entrez.efetch(db="snp", id="3739022")
print hdl.read()
