Does Biopython parse blast -m8 or -m9 (aka blasttable)?

Question: Does Biopython parse blast -m8 or -m9 (aka blasttable)?
1	I am getting the following error when I try -m9 File "parseBlast.biopython.py", line 5, in ? blast_record = blast_parser.parse(result_handle) File "/src/biopython-1.52/build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.4/Bio/Blast/NCBIStandalone.py", line 763, in parse self._scanner.feed(handle, self._consumer) File "/src/biopython-1.52/build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.4/Bio/Blast/NCBIStandalone.py", line 96, in feed self._scan_header(uhandle, consumer) File "/src/biopython-1.52/build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.4/Bio/Blast/NCBIStandalone.py", line 213, in _scan_header raise ValueError("Invalid header?")

2	Try with blast's XML output instead. As explained in biopython's FAQs (#17), the XML format is the only one that will be always supported.	created 2.1 years ago by Giovanni M Dall'Olio ♦ 1050•1•15•35

	uhhh no thanks xml is way too verbose. I have over 20M alignments. log in to reply • written 2.1 years ago by Jeremy Leipzig ♦ 820•8•23 then either try the latest biopython's release or use another tool. Or write to the biopython's mailing list and explain your use case, maybe they will update the parser for you. log in to reply • written 2.1 years ago by Giovanni M Dall'Olio ♦ 1050•1•15•35

2	ParseBlastTable may do what you want, but it was designed for the output of blastpgp, not blastall. I can't get it to work with the BLASTN blasttable I have to hand.	created 2.1 years ago by Simon Cockell ♦ 588•1•9•27

2	Take a look at Biostar question: "How to convert BLAST results to GFF" There is fairly easy Python solution for parsing blast column output.	created 2.1 years ago by Darked89 ♦ 317•3•13
