[Biopython-dev] RE: problem in using biopython-1.41

[Michiel De Hoon]

Dear Sarosh,

>From the test results, it looks like all of Biopython is working correctly,
except for Bio.Cluster. So if you don't plan on using the clustering
algorithms in Bio.Cluster, you've got nothing to worry about.

I would like to find out though why Bio.Cluster is failing. It may have to do
with the fact that you're on a 64-bits machine; the code has not been tested
there. So I'd like to ask you the following:
a) Which version of Numerical Python are you using?
b) Can you run the following commands and send me the output of step 3:
    1) Install biopython with "python setup.py install"
    2) From the biopython-1.41/Tests directory, run "python -i
test_Cluster.py"
    3) From the python prompt, execaute "run_tests("Bio.Cluster")"
This will show you the exact output from the Bio.Cluster tests.

Thanks in advance,

--Michiel.

Greetings!
I installed biopython-1.41 on my unix box which is:
Linux DK12AR4059LNX1 2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Jan 5 17:11:56 EST 2006
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

After following the preliminary steps in
http://bioinformatics.org/bradstuff/bp/tut/Tutorial001.html
I get an error message for the tests performed as:

python setup.py test  2>&1 |  tee python_setup.py-test.out.txt

The main error message is below and the full diagnostic info is attached as
a txt file.
I hope you can please help figure out the problem since I am a novice python
user,
and want to get into biopython for using it as a research tool asap.
Thanks
