[BioPython] Determine alphabet (DNA or Protein) of a sequence

[Björn Johansson]

Hi, I am fairly new to biopython, so I don't now if this question has
been answered in the archives (tried to loo but found nothing).

Is there a (bio)python module or code snippet that I can use to
determine if a sequence is liiely to be nucleic acid or protein?

I believe the program ReadSeq does this for example, when formatting a
fasta sequence to genbank.

grateful for answers!
