The simple answer is we really need to write more unit tests ;)

This will be tedious, but useful for improving the robustness of Biopython
on Python 2,x as well as helping with porting to Python 3.x

For example, I recent asked if anyone would like to write some more
tests for Bio.PDB (lots of things using has_key have no test coverage).
