[Biopython] The problem of using Bio.SwissProt

[Peter Cock]

Hello Dechang,

It is entirely possible that the file format has changed a little
since the last major work on Bio.SwissProt.KeyWList back in 2008:

https://github.com/biopython/biopython/blob/master/Bio/SwissProt/KeyWList.py

I suggest you open an issue on our Github repository with a specific
example (UniProt URL), showing the mismatch in fields. If you want to
work on a pull request to cope with the changes, even better :)

If you are familiar with SwissProt / UniProt and can find a relevant
announcement about these changes, that would also be very helpful.

Thank you,

Peter
