Summary: Seq.count() docstring should note unexpected behaviour
Product: Biopython
Version: 1.49
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Documentation
AssignedTo: biopython-dev at biopython.org
ReportedBy: baoilleach at gmail.com
The Seq.count() method has the following docs:
"Count method, like that of a python string."
This is a cop-out as it does not tell the user anything. In particular, it does
not lead the user to expect that Seq("GGG").count("GG")==1. This might make
sense for Python strings, but it's incorrect for sequences.
