PDB structure parsers, format builders and database providers.

The most basic usage is:

    >>> parser = StructureParser('structure.pdb')
    >>> parser.parse_structure()
    <Structure>     # a Structure object (model)

or if this is an NMR ensemble:
    
    >>> parser.parse_models()
    <Ensemble>      # an Ensemble object (collection of alternative Structure-s)
    
This module introduces a family of PDB file parsers. The common interface of all
parsers is defined in L{AbstractStructureParser}. This class has several
implementations:

    - L{RegularStructureParser} - handles normal PDB files with SEQRES fields
    - L{LegacyStructureParser} - reads structures from legacy or malformed PDB files,
      which are lacking SEQRES records (initializes all residues from the ATOMs instead)
    - L{PDBHeaderParser} - reads only the headers of the PDB files and produces structures
      without coordinates. Useful for reading metadata (e.g. accession numbers or just
      plain SEQRES sequences) with minimum overhead
      
Unless you have a special reason, you should use the L{StructureParser} factory,
which returns a proper L{AbstractStructureParser} implementation, depending on the
input PDB file. If the input file looks like a regular PDB file, the factory
returns a L{RegularStructureParser}, otherwise it instantiates L{LegacyStructureParser}.
L{StructureParser} is in fact an alias for L{AbstractStructureParser.create_parser}.

Writing your own, customized PDB parser is easy. Suppose that you are trying to
parse a PDB-like file which misuses the charge column to store custom info. This
will certainly crash L{RegularStructureParser} (for good), but you can create your
own parser as a workaround. All you need to to is to override the virtual
C{_read_charge} hook method::

    class CustomParser(RegularStructureParser):
    
        def _read_charge(self, line):
            try:
                return super(CustomParser, self)._read_charge(line)
            except StructureFormatError:
                return None

Another important abstraction in this module is L{StructureProvider}. It has several
implementations which can be used to retrieve PDB L{Structure}s from various sources:
file system directories, remote URLs, etc. You can easily create your own provider as
well. See L{StructureProvider} for details.

Finally, this module gives you some L{FileBuilder}s, used for text serialization 
of L{Structure}s and L{Ensemble}s:

    >>> builder = PDBFileBuilder(stream)
    >>> builder.add_header(structure)
    >>> builder.add_structure(structure)

where stream is any Python stream, e.g. an open file or sys.stdout.

See L{Ensemble} and L{Structure} from L{csb.bio.structure} for details on these
objects.

        @bug: Currently the PDB helix types are ignored. Each HELIX line is treated
              as a regular SecStructures.Helix. This is due to incompatibility 
              between DSSP and PDB helix types.
        @todo: Implement a proper workaround for the previous bug (e.g. skip all
               helices types not included in the DSSP enum)
        
        @warning: In this implementation only the start/end positions of the SS 
                  elements are parsed. Additional data like H-bonding is ignored.
                  
        @bug: Currently structure.to_pdb() is not writing any SS data.
