[Biopython-dev] Deprecating Bio.Index?

[Peter]

Hello all,

Is anyone using the Bio.Index module in Biopython in their own code?

This supported file indexing and was used in other parts of Biopython which
have all now been deprecated (e.g. Bio.SwissProt.SProt and Bio.Prosite) or
removed. The more recent Bio.SeqIO module provides a general approach
to indexing sequence files.

Would it inconvenience anyone if Bio.Index was deprecated in the next
release (triggering warnings when imported, but still functional), and then
removed later on?

Thanks,

Peter
