[Biopython-dev] [Biopython] Phylogenetic trees with biopython?

[David Winter]

Hi Peter and all,

Sorry the lack of communication from me on this. I successfully made it 
off the grid for the weekend then found I couldn't push to github from 
work (no ssh over the proxy for students) and couldn't email the list 
from home (can't use the uni's SMTP from off campus ) - IT-security 
catch 22!

Yeah, this was my stupid fault - you'd given me a heads up about the two 
different version of the _EmbossCommandline and I tried out what I 
already had with the the 'normal' version as saw that it failed but 
didn't read the error message properly (of course it failed because I 
was trying to give it the outfile parameter twice...)

Sounds good, will have a go at getting something going in the next 
couple of days

Well, I'm not sure it's much of a contribution from me, but thanks :) 
Perhaps add david.winter at gmail.com - gmail seems to handle spam pretty 
well and I won't be a student here for ever (right?...)


Cheers,
David
