[BioPython] biopython and compressed PDB files

[Iddo]

Hi Mike,

Which version of Python are you using? Python 2.3 has the bz2 module 
(http://docs.python.org/lib/module-bz2.html).

For zip files, there is the zipfile module:

http://docs.python.org/lib/module-zipfile.html

and the zlib:

http://docs.python.org/lib/module-zlib.html#l2h-2626


That should cover it...


HTH,

./I
