Hi Sara,

What command did you run? That's missing from the top of the quoted text.

Which version of Mac OS X do you have? Have you installed Xcode
including the command line tools? Which version of Python are you
using?

For installing Biopython on a Mac I would simply download and unzip
the source code, then run:

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

(The last step may need sudo depending on which Python you are using)

Peter
