[BioPython] online Python course for Bioinformatics

[Iddo Friedberg]

Hi Katja and Katherine,

This is really cool! I went through the pages and I really liked them.
Obviously a lot of effort has gone into planning & executing this course.
It is very well-presented, and stands by itself for teaching biopython.

Jeff, IMO, this should be linked form a prominent place in biopython's
pages.
