[BioPython] parsing phylogenetic trees in Python

[Catherine Letondal]

Hi,

I'm aware of several tools and packages dealing with phylogenetics and
Phylip-Nexus files such as:

p4 http://www.nhm.ac.uk/zoology/external/p4.htm

Mavric http://www.bioinformatics.org/mavric/

PyPhy http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/staff/thomas/pyphy/

However, I haven't found any official Python
or biopython module for a parser like the ones available
in the biopython parsing framework.

Does someone in this mailing-list know about a project for
writing a parser (as a module) or is it so easy to do that
nobody needs any?

Thanks in advance,
