[Biopython] accessing superfamilies (putative conserved domains) via biopython

Hello everyone,

Is there any way of getting putative conserved domain information
(such as superfamilies, specific hits, multidomains) with biopython?
When running (e.g.) BLASTX on NCBI this information typically appears
in a Conserved Domain section above Distribution of Blast Hits. Is
there a way to extract or access it via biopython?

I also found the Web CD-search tool, but this one only takes protein
sequences as an input and doesn't seems to have a biopython API.

Is there any solution to search for/map CDs automatically (if not via NCBI)?

Thanks,
Anna
