Perform transitions and Transversions calculations

I have two very long sequences (about 200Kb) each that I have aligned using Kalign from EBI. I include a preview . I was wondering if there is any way to calculate transitions (A to G and C to T and vice versa) and transversions (A to C, A to T, G to C and C to T and vice versa) on those aligned sequences. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thank you for your time

Interested if others are aware of more direct methods, but have you looked at this post, which uses BioPython to process an alignment?

Using the same approach, if you can output your Kalign 2.0 alignment in any format supported by BioAlignIO, you could write a short script to iterate through each column in the alignment, and enumerate the transitions and transversions.
