[Biopython-dev] Something wrong with Martel?

First issue is related to dict. Appended a diff to patch this.

Would be good if setup.py in BioPython root dir would also test the
Martel tests.

Yair, do you have a file "/etc/passwd" (looks like your email is from a
Windows system)? What do you mean "nothing is executed"? Script hangs,
script returns whithout output, script throws an error?

The parser.parse works for me, but the script is failing at
doc.normalize() whith

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'normalize'

I still don't know enough about the Martel infrastructure to understand
this. sax2dom.document seems to be None.
