Again - for practical reasons, why not an additional return_seqReverse method ?
MySlice(7,30).return_seqReverse().translate()
BTW - I don't think I have an account on a
bioperl/biopython/bioxml/biojava/whatever machine
- but I'd like to look into your line_lexer, is it available via FTP ?
If I am able to understand your parser, I can try to add rules for
SWISSPROT.
My current project parses ~1000 SWISSPROT entries each day and
I have never thought about event based parsing - but it seems to have some
great advantages over my document-orientated pseudoparsers ... :-)
