[Biopython] Permissions for Bio, BioSQL, Martel

[Peter]

Hi,

What OS are you using? And did you try just the normal installation:

python setup.py build
python setup.py test
sudo python setup.py install

That would normally work on Linux/Unix.

The above could happens if you did the build and test as sudo, and
the temp test files were left behind (e.g. if interrupted). If you later
rerun the tests as a normal user you can't delete them (because they
belong to root).
