[Biopython] bio.motifs P-value on pssm searches

Dear biopythoners,

the Bio.motifs search of PSSM is a really effective tool when dealing 
with regulatory motifs. When searching a pssm in a DNA sequence, a bit 
score is associated with each position; I was wondering if you have any 
gotchas to obtain a P- or E-value from such scores. I couldn't find any 
method in the package that does that but maybe I've missed something.

Thanks for your help,
Marco
