[Biopython-dev] test_Cluster.py fails, "nclusters should be positive"

[Peter]

I just updated my Linux box running Python 2.4.3 to the CVS version of 
BioPython (including building KDTree).

The bad news is that test_Cluster fails (full details below) with
cluster.error: kcluster: nclusters should be positive

The rest of the unit tests look OK except for some untested modules: the 
BioSQL ones, test_GFF, test_Wise and test_psw (the last two fail because 
I do not have dnal installed).

Interesting some of these tests which pass under Linux fail under 
Windows due to differences in floating point display.  We might want to 
fix that at some point...
