Summary: Genbank parser breaks on VectorNTI generated genbank
file
Product: Biopython
Version: 1.51b
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Main Distribution
AssignedTo: biopython-dev at biopython.org
ReportedBy: tsham at lbl.gov
The GenBank parser dies while parsing VectorNTI generated genbank files.
VectorNTI *sometimes* generates a file with no date string at position 65,
which causes this.
It is true that this is a non-standard genbank file, but since VectorNTI is a
commonly used program, it would be nice for BioPython to handle this case.
Sample session:
>>> import Bio
>>> Bio.__version__
'1.51b'
>>> fh = open("pBbA1a-RFP.gb")
>>> from Bio.GenBank import RecordParser
>>> rp = RecordParser()
>>> result = rp.parse(fh)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "Bio/GenBank/__init__.py", line 172, in parse
self._scanner.feed(handle, self._consumer)
File "Bio/GenBank/Scanner.py", line 370, in feed
self._feed_first_line(consumer, self.line)
File "Bio/GenBank/Scanner.py", line 820, in _feed_first_line
'LOCUS line does not contain - at position 65 in date:\n' + line
AssertionError: LOCUS line does not contain - at position 65 in date:
LOCUS pBbA1a-RFP 4252 bp DNA circular
