Using CVS, Bio.Restriction seems happy now - in addition to the
"super" change for Bug 2604, I have also made the sets/set change.

I'd forgotten about the Bio.Crystal exception problem (we didn't file
a bug on this):

.../Bio/Crystal/__init__.py:42: DeprecationWarning:
BaseException.message has been deprecated as of Python 2.6
  self.message = message

Otherwise all core the tests pass on my Linux python 2.6 machine
(skipping those needing reportlab, MySQLdb or other optional modules).
