Uploaded v0.0.4 which adds a unit test.

#!/usr/bin/env python
"""Select FASTA, QUAL, FASTQ or SSF sequences by IDs from a tabular file.

Takes five command line options, tabular filename, ID column number (using
one based counting), input filename, input type (e.g. FASTA or SFF) and the
output filename (same format as input sequence file).

When selecting from an SFF file, any Roche XML manifest in the input file is
preserved in both output files.

This tool is a short Python script which requires Biopython 1.54 or later
for SFF file support. If you use this tool in scientific work leading to a
publication, please cite the Biopython application note:
