[Biopython-dev] Releasing Biopython 1.62 next week?

[Peter Cock]

Hello all,

Are there any remaining issues people think need to be
resolve prior to releasing Biopython 1.62? If not, unless
anyone else volunteers, I will make time for this next week.

Possible issues worth reviewing - please reply on the
existing threads:

Changes to setup.py to remove use of setuptools,
this would benefit from wider testing:

Changes to PDB occupancy, do we need to change
PDB writing in light of this?

Update the Prank tool test to work with recent versions:

Note that PyPy now have a beta out support Python 3,
it would be nice to fully test with that as well...
