Dear Elfine:

The correct place for such a question is the BioPython discussion list at
biopython at lists.open-bio.org

You can subscribe to it here:
http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/biopython/

The newest BioPython tutorial (last updated 16 March 2007) can be found at
http://biopython.org/DIST/docs/tutorial/Tutorial.pdf

SeqIO and Fasta should both work fine. You could also try

 >>> help(SeqIO)
 >>> help(Fasta)

after your import for some further information.

Cheers,
Christof
