[Biopython-dev] Running unit tests on non-English OS

[Konstantin Okonechnikov]

Peter,
I have built and run the latest code from git on Russian Ubuntu 10.4.
Entrez tests have failed. Muscle, clustal and emboss tests have been skipped
successfully.
The tests have been executed from build.py script and I am not sure how to
generate test report. Redirecting the script output to file didn't help.
