Description: **Bioservices** is a Python package that provides access to many Bioinformatices Web Services (e.g.,
        UniProt) and a framework to easily implement Web Services wrappers (based on 
        WSDL/SOAP or REST protocols).
        
        The primary goal of **BioServices** is to use Python as a glue language to provide
        a programmatic access to several Bioinformatics Web Services. By doing so, elaboration of  new
        applications that combine several of the wrapped Web Services should be
        fostered.
        
        One of the main philosophy of **BioServices** is to make use of the existing
        biological databases (not to re-invent new databases) and to alleviates the
        needs for expertise in Web Services for the developers/users.
        
        So far, BioServices provides wrappers for 18 Web Services including 
        
        * `BioModels <http://www.ebi.ac.uk/biomodels-main/>`_
        * `KEGG <http://www.genome.jp/kegg/pathway.html>`_
        * `UniProt <http://www.uniprot.org/>`_
        * `quickGO <http://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/WebServices.html>`_
        * `PSICQUIC <http://code.google.com/p/psicquic/>`_
        * `WikiPathway <http://www.wikipathways.org/index.php/WikiPathways>`_
        * and more (e.g., UniChem, ChEMBL, EUtils, ...). Up-to-date list of Web Services is 
          provided within the `documentation <http://pythonhosted.org/bioservices/>`_.
        
        Here is just a little example using the UniProt Web Service to search for the zap70 specy in human
        organism::
        
            >>> from bioservices import UniProt
            >>> u = UniProt(verbose=False)
            >>> data = u.search("zap70+and+taxonomy:9606", format="tab", limit=3, columns="entry name,length,id, genes")
            >>> print(data)
            Entry name   Length  Entry   Gene names
            ZAP70_HUMAN  619     P43403  ZAP70 SRK
            B4E0E2_HUMAN 185     B4E0E2
            RHOH_HUMAN   191     Q15669  RHOH ARHH TTF
