Hello,
I am working at the xml formater (to format BLAST xml to html).
I found that the num_letters_in_database data is stored as a "private"
attribute.
When I want to retrieve the num_letters_in_database I have to do:
>>> fr=NCBIXML.parse(open(f_in)).next()
>>> fr._num_letters_in_database # SEE THE _ before num_letter_in_database
4662239
Instead of:
>>> fr.num_letters_in_database
[]
Like this one:
>>> fr.num_sequences_in_database
400
Here is the code with highlighting:
