I am aligning contigs against a reference genome and would like import the output of Nucmer-[MUMmer][1] as a track in GBrowse. MUMmer uses its own idiosyncratic output formats (delta format), and to my surprise I was unable to find any working parser for Mummer in BioPerl or BioPython.

I found some old requests, like 

 - http://www.biopython.org/pipermail/biopython-dev/2009-May/005971.html 
 - https://redmine.open-bio.org/issues/2701

but seemingly nothing of this code ever made it. Does anyone know more about it?

The Debian package for Mummer comes with the ` delta2maf` program which does exactly what it claims to do. That program comes from the Mugsy suite if you are on a different system.
