[Biopython-dev] GSoC Weekly Update 7: PhyloXML for Biopython

[Eric Talevich]

Hi all,

Previously (June 29--July 3) I:

    - Wrote serialization methods for each class, matching Parser
    - Also profiled the writer
    - Caught up on documentation -- http://www.biopython.org/wiki/PhyloXML

This week (July 6--10) I will:
    - Address comments from last week's code/doc review
    - Enable Pythonic syntax sugar (__getitem__, __contains__, override
__str__)
    - Unit tests for new code
    - Identify more Biopython objects to reuse or export to (improve the
      SeqRecord conversion)
    - Look specifically at interoperating with Nexus, Newick trees
    - Fill out the midterm evaluation

Cheers,
Eric
