Hi Daniel,

The code was recently merged into the master branch and will
be included with our next release (Biopython 1.54). There has
been discussion and some useful feedback already on the dev
mailing list - more would be great.

If you are happy to install from source, you can try it out now.
The latest version of the tutorial (with the source code, not yet
published) has a brief example in the cookbook chapter, but
the module docstrings are quite extensive. Once installed, try:

from Bio.SeqIO import SffIO
help(SffIO)

Or, just had a read of the code online on github or here:
