Hmm - the tutorial is still using Bio.Transcribe and Bio.Translate at
the moment. I could update the tutorial to use the Bio.Seq functions
for (back)transcription. However, as I said in the last email,
Bio.Translate still has its uses - there is no way to do a "translate
to stop" with Bio.Seq for example.
Maybe Bug 2381 should be a priority for the next release AFTER the
imminent Biopython 1.46. We can then use object methods in the
tutorial, which I personally would find much nicer to use.

If you could have a look at the suggested changes on Bug 2381, I'd
welcome some feedback.
