Hi Taigo,

I removed a sys.exit(...) call from run_tests.py because it was annoying if
running the tests from IDLE. With hindsight that was short sighted of me and
should be reverted pending a better solution - see:

http://github.com/biopython/biopython/commit/7def689001f1f457d754703d0f233f82b33c9074

Furthermore the TestRunner class method run should return a value to be used
as the return code. Since 0 is success, and 2 is already used for bad args,
I suggest 1 for at least one test failure.

If we have "python run_tests.py" returning useful error codes, then it is
easier (but not essential) to do the same for "python setup.py test".

Peter
