[Biopython-dev] Fwd: buildbot failure in Biopython on Windows XP - Python 2.6

[Peter Cock]

Hi Eric,

Unfortunately your recent commit broke things everywhere except
Python 2.7 and Python 3.2,
https://github.com/biopython/biopython/commit/94c128bd428cc5d53b50edd1d2e4730ee212f530

======================================================================
ERROR: test_root_at_midpoint (test_Phylo.TreeTests)
Tree.root_at_midpoint: reroot at the tree's midpoint.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/pjcock/repositories/BuildBot/lin31/build/build/py3.1/Tests/test_Phylo.py",
line 143, in test_root_at_midpoint
    delta=orig_tree_len*0.001)
TypeError: assertAlmostEqual() got an unexpected keyword argument 'delta'

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Looking at the current documentation (Python 2.7), there is no mention
that the 'delta' keyword is new:
http://docs.python.org/library/unittest.html#unittest.TestCase.assertAlmostEqual

However, looking at the older documentation the 'delta' keyword
was not mentioned, so together with the pattern of failures, I infer
it was new in Python 2.7.
http://docs.python.org/release/2.6.7/library/unittest.html#unittest.TestCase.assertNotAlmostEqual

Can you switch to using the places argument instead?

Peter
