Summary: Adding read method to NCBIXML (just like SeqIO and
SwissProt).
Product: Biopython
Version: 1.50b
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: Main Distribution
AssignedTo: biopython-dev at biopython.org
ReportedBy: sbassi at gmail.com
NCBIXML should have a "read" method. It has a parse method that returns an
iterable. If the the ncbiblast output has
only one record (because it was made from 1 query), now we have to
write: NCBIXML.parse(x).next() or iterate over a "list" of one member.
Other objects like SeqIO and SwissProt has both "read" and "parse" to deal with
one entry files. I think for the sake of consistency NCBIXML should also have a
read method.
