[Biopython] Support for HHSearch output form in Biopython SearchIO module

[Wibowo Arindrarto]

Hi Jens,

There are no plans to do that at the moment. If you are interested in
having this feature (and if the output does fit the SearchIO model),
you are welcome to write a pull request for it and I'd be happy to do
the review.

One of the things that need be done is to generate the possible ways
the file format may look like, especially since it does not seem to be
a standard file format like JSON or XML. This can be quite cumbersome,
but again, if you are interested and you already have some outputs
lying around, that would be a good start. Most useful would be to
cover the general cases (what a normal, relatively speaking, output
looks like) and some of the edge cases (e.g. what does an empty result
look like, can a single hit contain multiple alignments, etc.). Then,
we can start writing the actual parsers.

Cheers,
Bow
