**Simple python 2.7 libraries to parse fastq files and handle illumina 1.8+ fastq sequences**

## FastqReader
Parsing function that reads a fastq file and generates an iterator of FastqSeq object.
When the file is empty the generator raise a StopIteration exception indicating the number of valid sequence parsed. If a fastq sequence is invalid, this sequence is skipped.
Any part of the sequence name following a blank space will be removed
## FastqSeq : Simple object representing a Fastq sequence
FastqSeq is a simple python object class generating a object representing a fastq sequence. The object is initialised with a name, a DNA sequence, an **illumina 1.8+ Phred +33** encoded quality sequence (same size than the DNA sequence) and eventually a short text description. After creation the object has the following fields:
* name = name of the sequence without @.
* seq = The DNA sequence of the fastq sequence store as a simple string.
* qual = An numpy integer array representing the Phred Quality of bases (support all np.array methods)
* descr = A description of the fastq sequence.
* qualstr = A string of letters corresponding to the sequence quality in illumina 1.8+ Phred 33 encoding
* fastqstr = The field "descr" will be included in the output fastq sequence name after a space if present
The object support slicing([0:10]), concatenation(seq1+seq2) and the len method
