Biopython and pyml are likely to have different goals for these routines. In
particular a routine as kNN is quite useful for microarray data analysis, and I
expect that the routine will get updated over time to be better suited for
biological (microarray or other) data analysis. So I would suggest to keep these
routines in Biopython and to continue working on them. We can still donate these
routines to pyml also, but I would expect that e.g. the Biopython-kNN and the
pyml-kNN will diverge over time to be most suited for each package's requirements.
