Oddly enough you are the first to ask for it.

Does biopython have a definition of the fields it expects to write out 
in a GenPept or RefseqP format file? We would be able to allow GenBank 
as an alias for, presumably, genpept.

Might be a good time to merge the format names and details from 
biopython and emboss. Where can Ifine the biopython ones?
