Hi everybody,

We now have a fixed Biopython in CVS that works with both the old and the new
mxTextTools. I am planning to create the new Biopython release later this
week.

Bio.Kabat and the blast and blasturl functions in Bio.Blast.NCBIWWW were
deprecated in previous Biopython. The two functions in Bio.Blast.NCBIWWW have
been deprecated in favor of qblast starting with Biopython 1.40b (February
2005). I am planning to remove this functionality for release 1.44 -- let us
know if this would cause you some problems.

--Michiel.
