You really should look at biopython as has been suggested on 
comp.lang.python. The first example in the quick start guide does most 
of what you are asking for:
http://biopython.org/docs/tutorial/Tutorial003.html#toc5

Alternately you can post what you have tried and what questions you have 
and we will help you work through them.
