One possible improvement would be to use Continuous Integration.

For example, we could have a daemon that runs once a day. It would do a
clean installation, build and test of biopython, and send out warning emails
if anything goes wrong. This would ensure that tests never stay broken for
very long.

I kind of like this idea, and I may have a go at implementing it sometime.
