Doesn't BioPerl just use the Staden libraries for this internally?
Yes, and it uses an old version as well (via bioperl-ext). Much of this effort
was to go into the biolib initiative for creating cross-lang bindings using
swig, but that seems to be silent at the moment. I'm surprised Python doesn't
have io_lib bindings.
BioLib is just swig wrappers around the existing Bio* interfaces and
code, so it will not help in this case if the projects are too divergent.
Could we set up a Bio* collection of data formats with examples and note
which projects can handle each one?
We do not need any one project to cover everything - we can reasonably
expect users to use some other project to interconvert formats if there
are gaps.
