Bio.PDB only deals with PDB files. However, I do have some code lying 
around that deals with mmCIF files, (lex generated C code + python bindings) 
but I didn't add it to Bio.PDB because (a) I don not use mmCIF and (b) no one 
asked for it - until now that is :-).

What do you need it for? I might be tempted to add mmCIF support after all.
OTOH, as Andrew pointed out, PyMMLib indeed comes with mmCIF support, so 
that's an out-of-the-box solution for you.
