Hi Peter!

I mean the biopython tutorial (16.3.2007), page 10:

>>>
from Bio import SeqIO
handle = open("ls_orchid.fasta")
for seq_record in SeqIO.parse(handle, "fasta") :
print seq_record.id
print seq_record.seq
print len(seq_record.seq)
handle.close()
<<<

I tried your code but I still have the same problem. It's don't show the 
full sequence.

Output:
1 Seq('atgctcgatgcgcgctcgcgtccgtcgCAGGAgGAGATGGGGAGGCGCCGCCGGTTCACG ...', 
SingleLetterAlphabet())
2 Seq('AGAAAAATCCGGAATCAGAGGAGGAGGAGGAGTCTCGCGAGGAGGATAGCACGGAGGCGG ...', 
SingleLetterAlphabet())

Fasta File looks like this:
>1
atgctcgatgcgcgctcgcgtccgtcgCAGGAgGAGATGGGGAGGCGCCGCCGGTTCACGCATCAGCCCACCAGCGACGACGACGACGAGGAAGACAGAGCCGcCC
>2
AGAAAAATCCGGAATCAGAGGAGGAGGAGGAGTCTCGCGAGGAGGATAGCACGGAGGCGGTACCCGTCGGTGAACCTTT

I can try with regular expressions but I first wanted to know whether there 
is a way in biopyhton.

Regards
Stefanie
