Original author of the Biopython implementation here. Out of the maybe 100,000 lines of code that I have out on the internet somewhere, I never would have thought that this little module would be what makes the front page of Hacker News! Unfortunately, it's for a bug, but hey, I guess you can't win em all.
I've submitted the fix back to Biopython. Thanks for reporting the problem, and please let me know if there are more issues.
- kevinwuhoo 14y agoI'm was quite surprised (and happy) at the speed this fix came! I was mucking around with C for a few hours today and was elated to see your email! I thought that the original author would be long gone when I saw that the it was created in 2002. Everything works as advertised now and I've amended the entry. Using your trie implementation cut my memory usage down from ~22gb to ~10gb. I just mapped hundreds of thousands of peptides. Thanks!
