that sounds reasonable.

dictionary and iterators would be very pythonic, and useful. are you
working on it?
correct me if I'm wrong, but the standard policy in Biopython BioSQL to
update
a bioentry record is to delete the old one and create a new one (ore make
a new version).
wouldn't be useful to enable in biopython some minor modifications to a
bioentry like
adding/removing features and qualifiers? maybe I can help with this.
