[Biopython] server for automatic high-quality search & alignment?

Hi list--

Does anyone know of a remotely callable web service similar to HHPred
in functionality - i.e. capable of running a homology search against
the PDB, and returning high-quality alignments?  We're using NCBI
BLAST for this right now and will probably use the EBI's WU-BLAST
server in the future, but these are considered inferior to HHPred for
weak homologs.  Unfortunately HHPred isn't something we can use from
Python, at least not in production code.

thanks,
Nat
