Great! Thanks!

Are you familiar with the Kegg API:
http://www.genome.jp/kegg/soap/doc/keggapi_manual.html
This is what the Bioruby folks are using; it may be useful for Biopython
also.

If you don't have CVS access, please submit changes through the "Bugs" link
on the Biopython website. I'll look at them after the upcoming 1.41 release.
If you do have CVS access, please hold off committing to CVS for a week or so
until the new release is out (to make sure only the stable code gets into the
release).
