Alex, thanks for pointing this out. I sat down tonight and resolved this issue.

<http://bugzilla.open-bio.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2266>

The patch on there should be the fix needed. Save it as
setup_test.patch (or whatever, but that's convenient), place it in the
same directory as setup.py, and patch with the command

patch -p0 < setup_test.patch

Alternatively, I can send you the patched files (setup.py and
Tests/run_tests.py).

Thanks again for pointing this out.

Chris
