Fellow Biopythoneers, I'd welcome comments on the idea of adding a translate method to the SeqRecord object, https://github.com/biopython/biopython/issues/1103 This case up in some training material where for the flow of the example, we wanted to parse FASTA nucleotides and create a translated FASTA protein sequence file. Also comments on the proposed implementation (eg defaults and argument order) here please: https://github.com/biopython/biopython/pull/1144 (If this is merged, since we have a reverse_complement, it would make sense to include the (back)transcribe methods too for completeness - here all the annotation could be copies, although I'm not sure what the defaults ought best to be. Thanks, Peter
