[Biopython] PARS - pfam module for biopython

[Peter Cock]

This could be useful for anyone working with the Pfam HMM files. Would
anyone on the mailing list be keen to try this?

I suggest in the short term you add a link to it from here:

Thank you,

Peter

PARS enables downloading files from Pfam and Rfam databases with additional wrappers for HAMMER tools - hmmsearch, hmmscan and hmmpress which enables the usage of downloaded hmm files. We wrote classes dedicated to Pfam families/clans and hmm flat files. Our package enables easy switching between the Pfam and other popular databases by translation of accession numbers.
