FastTree is the new hotness in maximum-likelihood tree inference, and the new default/recommendation in SATe (http://phylo.bio.ku.edu/software/sate/sate.html). It also does very fast neighbor-joining trees.

Let's create a wrapper for it in Biopython. The interface is very simple and Unix-y, taking an alignment in Phylip or FASTA format as input. Interestingly, it prints the final tree to standard output, unlike RAxML and PhyML.
