Double check with the original author about reusing his code,
but that could be good. Maybe under Bio/SNP/23andme.py
where the Bio.SNP namespace could be extended in future?

Tiago - Do you mean the BioSQL module (no dot)? That is
specifically for the BioSQL.org schema, and there are other
things under Bio.* which use SQL.
