Hi.  I'm the guy that wrote the stuff you're discussing.  If it would
make things easier, I would be happy to help integrate it into
biopython.  However, someone in the newsgroup thread also mentioned some
other C code that does the same thing, and which is apparently optimised
for speed.  I haven't benchmarked it, but you might be better off
swig'ing and using that.
