  I just uploaded a wxpython prototype, SeqGui.py to =
pub/katel/biopython/Bio on the ftp site.  After a few hours of =
bafflement, I was able to get wxConstaints to do what I wanted.  In the =
same ammount of time, I was able to get the TKinter LayoutGrid to sort =
of do something like I wanted.

  Potentially, the gui can help the researcher visualize hidden =
patterns.  Some day, when I'm feeling rich, I',m going to get hold of  =
The Display of Visual Information:).

   USER STORY:
       Ellen Elegans has discovered a new protein, but  she is not sure =
what its function is, and her eyes are tired from poring over text.  She =
runs the protein through a program that highlights protein motifs in =
color.  She recognizes the motifs as appearing often in digestive =
enzymes, so she suspects the protein has to do with digestion.

                                                                   Cayte
