           Summary: installing with non-admin permissions
           Product: Biopython
           Version: Not Applicable
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Main Distribution
        AssignedTo: biopython-dev at biopython.org
        ReportedBy: gould at embl.de


I have a scenario where I want to install python 2.5 and biopython 1.43(also
dependencies egenix-mx-base-3.0.0 and Numeric-24.2) in a non-standard install
directory as I have only non-admin permissions on a particular machine. I have 
selected a single directory into which I have installed everything with the
PATH env variable now pointing to this version of python as opposed to one in
/usr/bin.

I have followed the instructions as per:
http://biopython.org/DIST/docs/install/Installation.html

However, there seems to be something missing as some of the tests in biopython
1.43 fail as outlined below:

Ran 92 tests in 81.465s


I've tried various versions of python with biopython but without success at
getting these tests to run.

I basically need the following piece of code to run:

from Bio.WWW import ExPASy
from Bio.SwissProt import SProt
from Bio import File

results = ExPASy.get_sprot_raw('P12931')
all_results = results.read()
sp_parser = SProt.RecordParser()
sp_iterator = SProt.Iterator(File.StringHandle(all_results), sp_parser)
Record = sp_iterator.next()
but it crashes out at the last line with error:

File "/g/gibson/gould/submaster/python/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Bio/ParserS 
                                                                               
                                   upport.py", line 300, in read_and_call
    raise SyntaxError, errmsg
SyntaxError: Line does not start with 'SQ':
PE   1: Evidence at protein level;

any suggestions as to what the problem might be would be appreciated.
thanks in advance
