[Biopython] SwissProt parser: get entire entry as string?

[Chevreux, Bastien]

Dear list,

Is there a way to get the entire entry of a just parsed SwissProt entry as string?

Motivation: I want to write a simple filter for UniProt/SwissProt .dat files like this

fh=open(sys.stdin.fileno())
for rec in SwissProt.parse(fh):
if ("something I want to check for matches"):
    print(rec.entry_as_string)

and not reformat each and every field for compatible output (which would take half a life-time to get correct and probably still be error-prone).

Best,
  Bastien
