Hi Pawan,

Note pyfasta is not part of Biopython, but is a separate tool by Brent
Pedersen (CC'd).

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyfasta/
https://github.com/brentp/pyfasta/

However, uncompressing the tar ball is only the first step in installing it.
You probably need to run "python setup.py install" for that.

Peter
