Good point, I didn't try out the situation when the database wasn't
setup correctly.

I moved the password setup etc out of test_BioSQL.py into
setup_BioSQL.py (two reasons, one I didn't want to have to check
test_BioSQL.py was up to date by hand, and two, I plan to add more tests).

I guess the problem is the default settings I put in setup_BioSQL.py,
which previously were undefined.  These settings work for me, as
described on http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/BioSQL (new).

On your system, I guess that MySQL is available but the
username/password are wrong.  If we revert these to being undefined,
then the test should fail as before with MissingExternalDependencyError.

Can you check that easily?  I should probably add an error handler to
look for permission denied too...
