[Biopython-dev] Optimization of PDBParser and friends

[João Rodrigues]

Likely true.

I'm writing a txt file with the changes. I don't think they can be merged
easily without breaking a lot of stuff, in particular the removal of
child_list. Therefore, I suggest we write a few deprecation warnings here
and there where affected by the consensual changes we agree on and give a
few releases before we actually merge them.

Also, once I'm happy with the changes, I'll make a new branch to allow
'beta testing' by anyone who wants and write a wiki page on it.

Cheers,

João
