Currently, Biopython is undergoing some major improvements, for example
with the Blast parser and especially with the new Bio.SeqIO. I expect
that Biopython in two or three months will be a lot more transparent and
user-friendly than it is now. It may be worthwhile to postpone
submitting a Biopython paper until these improvements have made it into
a Biopython release.
Don't let that stop you from starting to write a paper, though :-).
