def ost::bindings::kclust::kClust	(		sequences,
			clustering_thresh = 30,
			create_alignments = False
	)

Uses kClust to generate clusters of amino acid sequences.

:param sequences: All sequences you want to cluster. 
:type sequences: :class:`ost.seq.SequenceList`

:param clustering_thres: Sequence identity threshold to build clusters. Note,
                         that clustering_thresh is more a rule of thumb, since
                         compositional bias in the sequence can also play a role.
                         The value gets transformed in a bitscore, that is used
                         as an input parameter of kClust 

:param create_alignments: Flag, wether the alignments of the clusters get calculated.
                          Requires clustalw in the path.

:returns: A list of cluster instances

:raises: :class:`~ost.settings.FileNotFound` if kClust could not be located.
