[BioPython] bioperl with python

[Jeffrey Chang]

As a historical sidenote, when we first started this project, we had
extensive discussions on how closely we would try to match bioperl
APIs and functionality.  We came to the conclusion then that things
are more naturally expressed differently in python and perl,
e.g. string indexing and slicing.  We've often chosen to do things
more "pythonically", even when it means deviating from the bioperl way
of doing things.  It seems like Biojava has also gone this route.
