[Biopython-dev] TogoWS test failure, was: Compiling Biopython on 64 bit Windows

Fri Apr 18 20:24:53 UTC 2014

Thanks Lenna,

Strange - although I was sure it was working perfectly on Linux
at work this afternoon, I can reproduce this as well now.

This commit adds a more informative error message:
https://github.com/biopython/biopython/commit/e5c656e7ce7496db0291f0055da61c492c5054aa

e.g.

ValueError: Expected an integer from URL
http://togows.dbcls.jp/search/pubmed/TogoWS/count, got: '<!DOCTYPE
html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">\n<html
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">\n<head>\n  <meta
http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
/>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div>1</div>\n\n</body>\n</html>\n'

i.e. Rather than plain text, it is HTML with the value
inside a <div> tag. This may be a content negotiation
problem, but I will raise this with the TogoWS team.

Manlio - we can ignore this for now for 64 bit Windows
testing,

Thanks,

Peter
