------- Comment #5 from biopython-bugzilla at maubp.freeserve.co.uk  2008-11-21 07:18 EST -------
Fixed in CVS revision 1.187 of biopython/Doc/Tutorial.tex by completely
rephrasing to avoid the contentious sentence structure.  See:

http://cvs.biopython.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/biopython/Doc/Tutorial.tex?cvsroot=biopython

Now reads:
> There are two important differences between Seq objects and standard
> python strings. First of all, they have different methods. Although
> the Seq object supports many of the same methods as a plain string,
> its translate() method differs by doing biological translation, and
> there are also additional biologically relevant methods like
> reverse_complement(). Secondly, the Seq object has an important
> attribute, alphabet, which is an object describing what the individual
> characters making up the sequence string “mean”, and how they should
> be interpreted. For example, is AGTACACTGGT a DNA sequence, or just
> a protein sequence that happens to be rich in Alanines, Glycines,
> Cysteines and Threonines?
