Hi Thomas,

Welcome to biopython!

> I saw some mails on this list about dealing only with pure python code

An advantage to having python implementations of algorithms is that
they're immediately available for Java as well, via JPython.  But I agree
that we will need to hand code some algorithms in C.  For example, I doubt
we can get a fast enough smith waterman coded up just in Python, n^2 or
not.

Great!  Let me know when they're ready, and we'll put them in Scripts
Central.
