Class: FeatureLocation Bio/SeqFeature.py

Specify the location of a feature along a sequence.

This attempts to deal with fuzziness of position ends, but also make it easy to get the start and end in the normal case (no fuzziness).

You should access the start and end attributes with your_location.start and your_location.end. If the start and end are exact, this will return the positions, if not, we'll return the approriate Fuzzy class with info about the position and fuzziness.

Methods   
__getattr__
__init__
__str__
  __getattr__ 
__getattr__ ( self,  attr )

Make it easy to get non-fuzzy starts and ends.

We override get_attribute here so that in non-fuzzy cases we can just return the start and end position without any hassle.

To get fuzzy start and ends, just ask for item.start and item.end. To get non-fuzzy attributes (ie. the position only) ask for item.nofuzzy_start, item.nofuzzy_end. These should return the largest range of the fuzzy position. So something like: (10.20)..(30.40) should return 10 for start, and 40 for end.

Exceptions   
AttributeError( "Cannot evaluate attribute %s." % attr )
  __init__ 
__init__ (
        self,
        start,
        end,
        )

Specify the start and end of a sequence feature.

start and end arguments specify the values where the feature begins and ends. These can either by any of the *Position objects that inherit from AbstractPosition, or can just be integers specifying the position. In the case of integers, the values are assumed to be exact and are converted in ExactPosition arguments. This is meant to make it easy to deal with non-fuzzy ends.
