Execute a ScanProsite search.

Arguments:

• mirror: The ScanProsite mirror to be used (default: https://www.expasy.org).
• seq: The query sequence, or UniProtKB (Swiss-Prot, TrEMBL) accession
• output: Format of the search results (default: xml)

Further search parameters can be passed as keywords; see the documentation for programmatic access to ScanProsite at https://www.expasy.org/tools/scanprosite/ScanPrositeREST.html for a description of such parameters.

This function returns a handle to the search results returned by ScanProsite. Search results in the XML format can be parsed into a Python object, by using the Bio.ExPASy.ScanProsite.read function.
