$ nwalign alphabet alpet
alphabet
alp---et

specify an alignment scoring matrix

$ nwalign --matrix /usr/share/ncbi/data/BLOSUM62 EEAEE EEEEG
EEAEE-
EE-EEG

Usage as a python module

>>> import nwalign as nw
>>> nw.global_align("CEELECANTH", "PELICAN", matrix='PAM250')
('CEELECANTH', '-PELICA--N')

the matrix is specified as the full path to an scoring matrix as is distributed with the NCBI toolset.
