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 is 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.
        
        BioServices provides access to 25 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, GeneProf, PathwayCommons, BioDBNet,
        * UniChem). 
        
        an up-to-date list of Web Services is provided within 
        the online `documentation <http://pythonhosted.org/bioservices/>`_.
        
        Here is 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
