[Biopython] Deprecating Bio.GenBank.LocationParser and Bio.Parsers?

Hello all,

One of the improvements in Biopython 1.55 was a re-written location
parser for Bio.GenBank (which also covers EMBL parsing). This made
parsing much faster, and also meant Bio.GenBank.LocationParser
and the underlying Bio.Parsers and Bio.Parsers.spark modules were
obsolete. I'd like to mark these as deprecated in the next release:

* Bio.GenBank.LocationParser
* Bio.Parsers (including Bio.Parsers.spark)

Would this cause anyone a problem?

Thanks,

Peter
