I find difficult to translate a sequence in the 6 reading frames with a single
command. 

Actually I use something like this:

for i in xrange(2):
 translate(Seq[i:])

which is not very nice.


It would be nice to add a parameter to the translate function like in the
emboss application transeq
(http://emboss.sourceforge.net/apps/cvs/emboss/apps/transeq.html), something
like this:

>>> a = Seq('CAGCTAGCT')
>>> a.translate()
[(translation of a in the frame 0)]
>>> a.translate(1)
[(translation of a in the frame 1)]
>>> a.translate(F)
[(translation of a in the 3 forward frames)]
