Hi Laurent,

The 2to3 conversion does take a while (sigh), but I have a plan for that:
http://lists.open-bio.org/pipermail/biopython-dev/2013-May/010633.html

Which version of Biopython, and if from git, which commit?
In particular was it before or after this change from Brad which
I recently committed?

Thanks,

Peter
