[Biopython-dev] Python GO database interface development

[Bartek Wilczynski]

Hi, 

Some time ago (in July, I believe), I've posted similar question on this list.
It appeared that Bertrand Frottier have written some code for his own use, and
we started to develop it to the stage that it would be general enough to be
incorporated to the biopython. (Also Arnaud von Cortenbosch was involved in that
effort)

The project sort of died, mostly because of lack of time, but I still would like
to work on it. As for now, there's some of the old code contributed by Bertrand
(mostly for xml and www interface to GO) and some newer stuff that can do very
basic things with mysql GO database. 

If anyone is  interested in helping with development, that would be just great
(however I have to admit, that I'll probably not be able to work on it this week).
