Hi Amir,

Biopython's Bio.AlignIO module reads alignment files, and there
are wrappers to help call some command line alignment tools in
Bio.Align.Applications as well. Unless you are doing research on
alignment algorithms, there doesn't seem to be much need for
actually implementing this kind of thing in Python directly.

Also, there is a pairwise alignment module, Bio.pairwise2, which
might be of interest.
