           Summary: translate and transcibe method for the the Seq object
                    (in Bio.Seq)
           Product: Biopython
           Version: Not Applicable
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Main Distribution
        AssignedTo: biopython-dev at biopython.org
        ReportedBy: biopython-bugzilla at maubp.freeserve.co.uk


Biopython has translation and transcription modules (Bio/Translate.py and
Bio/Transcibe.py) but I find them a little bit complicated to use.

There are module level functions translate, transcribe, and back_transcribe in
Bio/Seq.py which take either a string, a Seq object or a MutableSeq object.

I would like to add similar methods to the Seq object (also defined Bio/Seq.py)
to make this functionality more accessable from a Seq object.

NOTE: Python strings have a translate method of their own which is rather
different.  Having the Seq translate method doing a biological translation
makes sense.
