[Biopython] how to find closest genes for a given location

[Sameet Mehta]

Dear all,

I have multiple locations from human genomes.  I want to determine
what are the closest genes on either side of the location, and if it
is in the location how far from the TSS the given location is.  I was
thinking of using the CCDS database, because it contains information
for the genes that have been verified.  Is there any other
better/smarter way of doing it.

all help is appreciated,
Sameet
