Internal file formats

The BGCtoolkit makes use of objects of the BGC, BGCCollection and BGCProtein classes from BGClib. Currently, these objects are stored on disk by simple object serialization using Python's Pickle module. For example:

bgc = BGC("myfile.gbk")
with open("myfile.bgc", "wb") as f:
    pickle.dump(bgc, f)
