Hi Lin,
I also have clustalw 1.83, so this isn't simply a version
problem. It could be something subtle about the locale -
what language is your CentOS running in (that can alter
error messages etc)?

That's good - that's what it should say :)
(Sorry late/last was my typing error).

Thanks. I could reproduce the test_Tutorial.py problem with that.
This is easy to explain - I forgot to include the test file my_blast.xml
when doing the release (and you are the first person to report this
problem). I should have noticed this myself, sorry :(
I've fixed this ready for the next release - thank you for reporting this:
https://github.com/biopython/biopython/commit/c1b63b88dd5a50fa3f6f2aef840a51fe9092e0c5
If you want to, you can get the missing file from here:
http://biopython.org/SRC/Doc/examples/my_blast.xml
or:
https://github.com/biopython/biopython/raw/master/Doc/examples/my_blast.xml
If you save that in the Biopython 1.61 source under Doc/examples
then the Tutorial test should pass.

Did you retry the test_Entrez_online.py example to see if
this was a temporary problem?

The good news is these minor issues should not cause you
any problems installing and using Biopython 1.61 - so you
can go ahead and run 'python setup.py install.
Thanks,
Peter
