[Biopython] Status of GFF3 parser in BioPython?

[Chevreux, Bastien]

Hi there,

I am wondering about the status of a GFF3 parser in BioPython. According to the BioPython website it is in development and not integrated yet. If I read an entry on BioStars right (https://www.biostars.org/p/2492/), it is like that since at least 6 years. Any news on that?

Background: I am writing a script intended for wider publication, and while I can reasonably expect BioPython to be installed on many current platforms, I want to keep the number of non-standard dependencies low so as not to have unnecessary hurdles for untrained users.

Best,
  Bastien
