I'm planning to do the same in terms of putting beta in the
Windows installer for Python 3.2.

After some trouble, I now have the epydoc API files updated
(a manual refresh might be needed to see the changes):
http://biopython.org/DIST/docs/api/

Bow - the `backtick` markup doesn't do anything in epydoc, but
perhaps for the next release we can turn the SearchIO markup
into restructuredtext instead?

I think last time I didn't have the docutils dependency installed
in order for epydoc to try and parse the restructuredtext (used
in Bio.Phylo). Running epydoc also showed a few more epydoc
formatting errors, fixed in git - I will now regenerate the installers,
and tag this in git etc.
