Hi Nicolas,

You should be OK installing this - all the test failures are
within Bio.bgzf which is curious, but you probably won't be
using BGZF compressed files.

We do have buildslaves testing on Python 3.3.0 where this
does not happen, so perhaps this is a new failure from a
change in Python 3.3.1rc1 - hopefully I'll be able to confirm
that by updating one of the buildslaves.

Thanks for the alert,

Peter
