Very easy :)

I've been trying this on several of my other Python repositories,
and while there are things I consider false positives, it has
already helped me fix a bunch of minor things (eg extra imports)
and some real bugs (eg wrong variable name used in error
messages).

So while we'll need to spend some time digesting the reports,
I agree that https://landscape.io/github/biopython/biopython
ought to be very useful.

Suggestions for fine tuning the setting welcome :)

Thanks Tiago!
