[Biopython-dev] SeqIO circular

Hi,

since this bug seems to be of low priority I decided to try my best to
help a bit and search the web a bit.
It seems that the property is stored in PrimarySeq or Seq  in bioperl.
See for instance:

http://search.cpan.org/~cjfields/BioPerl-1.6.1/Bio/Seq.pm
http://search.cpan.org/~cjfields/BioPerl-1.6.901/Bio/PrimarySeq.pm

Or also:
http://bugzilla.open-bio.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2578

This seems to be realised as boolean variable or function.

Regards,
Matthias
