And the branch delete is still on-going :(

Its back online again, but right now for me github is a bit of a damp squid [*].
As my initial branch/fork of biopython still exists but is being
deleted, it seems
in the meantime I can't create a new branch of biopython.  Odd, and rather
frustrating.  Hopefully it will sort itself out shortly, and I can
have another play
with merging branches...

[*] For the benefit of non-native English speakers, or or anyone whose sense
of humour works differently to mine, this was a pun, based on the English phrase
"damp squib" for a disappointing event, and the fact that github's
error page has
some kind of cartoon squid/octopus-cat creature on it.
