[khmer] Metagenomics: richness and evenness

[Carlos eduardo]

Hello Guys,

Do you know a way to calculate the richness (number of species) and
 evenness (abundance of each specie) from a metagenomics sample using k-mer(
khmer)?

I saw that khmer can calculate the kmer distribution; however, I don't know
 if there is an approach to calculate the richness and  evenness.

Thanks
