[Biopython-dev] Travis-CI to complement BuildBot

[Brad Chapman]

Peter and Sergei;

>> Great! can you add build status to the README.md file, so
>> anyone can see if 'master' is okay to use?

> The Travis (and BuildBot) status is something of interest to people

> downloaded a release, not just those browsing on github).

I'd second Sergei's suggestion. It's useful information, shows up as a
small image in the readme on GitHub, and provides a link to the Travis
CI builds. Here's an example from one of my own projects:

You only need this little magic in the README:
