[Biopython-dev] [Biopython] Gene ontology parsing

[Kyle]

(Hitting Reply-All this time)

I think I let the work being done by Chris Lasher and Tamas supersedes my work.

My patches got pulled into Chris's branch:
https://github.com/gotgenes/biopython/tree/gosupport/Bio/GO


I'll be at BOSC starting tomorrow. (About to get on a plane to Vienna)
