Example:

To align a FASTA file (unaligned.fasta) with the output files names aligned.* including a FASTA output file (aligned.fa), use:

>>> from Bio.Align.Applications import DialignCommandline
>>> dialign_cline = DialignCommandline(input="unaligned.fasta",
...                                    fn="aligned", fa=True)
>>> print dialign_cline
dialign2-2 -fa -fn aligned unaligned.fasta

You would typically run the command line with dialign_cline() or via the Python subprocess module, as described in the Biopython tutorial.
