<br>
If you look at Leighton's example, you'll see the KEGG REST API<br>
and KGML parsing code is now in Biopython. This was included in<br>
Biopython 1.65 onwards (contributions from Kevin Wu, Leighton,<br>
and a little from me).<br>
<br>
If you have a KEGG subscription and want to work on and contribute<br>
parsers for other files beyond enzymes and compounds, that would<br>
be useful too.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
