[Biopython-dev] Green light for Biopython on PyPy 1.9 on BuildBot

[Peter Cock]

Hi all,

PyPy 1.9 was released today:

The good news is that it installed simply on my Mac, and we
now have a clean set of unit test results - an improvement on
PyPy 1.8 were there was some kind of handle leak. I have now
added this as a buildbot target for nightly testing:

The bad news is the PyPy 1.9 binary wouldn't run on my Linux
buildslave due to a GLIBC version difference, so we don't yet
have a PyPy buildslave under Linux.

I will try this under Windows next...
