[Biopython] help with confidence values on PhyloXML tree objects?

[Jon Sanders]

So I have two problems.


Problem 1: when importing my newick-formatted trees, which were generated
in PyCogent, the terminal labels and branch labels are read in as
confidence values because they're numerical. So

    ((((41:0.01494,44:0.00014)0.604:0...

is read in with blank name='' values and 41, 44, 0.605, etc. as
'confidence' values.



Problem 2: I would like to store multiple confidence values per node, but I
can't figure out how to do it.

I can get the plain old 'confidence' attribute set by:

   clade.confidence = .05

but can't figure out how to add and set new confidence types. Any
suggestions?


Much appreciated,
-jon
