[Biopython] GFF3 manipulation

Hi all,
I have the below GFF3 file:

*...*

I would like to copy the "*Name=Peroxidase 40"* from gene feature and added
into mRNA feature as "*Note=Peroxidase 40*". Unfortunately, the below
script caused an error:




















*import pprintfrom BCBio import GFFin_file =
"/Users/lorencm/tmp/Gmp_NbV1_Final.gff3"out_file =
"/Users/lorencm/tmp/Gmp_NbV1_Final.gff3.bak"in_handle = open(in_file)with
open(out_file, "w") as out_handle:    for rec in GFF.parse(in_handle):
  for feature in rec.features:            print(feature)
print(feature.qualifiers.get("Name"))
print(feature.sub_features)
print(feature.sub_features[0].qualifiers.get("Name"))
print("!!!!change")            feature.sub_features[0].qualifiers["Note"] =
feature.qualifiers.get("Name")
pprint.pprint(feature.sub_features[0].qualifiers.get("Note"))
print("!!!DONE")            out_file.write([rec])in_handle.close()*

Here is output and error:

What did I miss?

Thank you in advance,

Mic
