Have a look at the "The Biopython testing framework"
chapter in the tutorial (although this does not talk about
Python 3).

For python 2.x, from the Tests directory do:

python run_tests.py

For a particular version of Python, do:

python2.6 run_tests.py

For Python 3.x first convert the code with 2to3 as described
in the README file, then:

python3 run_tests.py

For a particular version of Python 3, do:

python3.1 run_tests.py

You can run selected tests rather than all of them, e.g.

python run_tests.py test_Motif.py

The tests are all written in Python, and will test the C modules via
their Python interface.
