[Biopython-dev] Help needed: Windows installers for Python 3.5

[Peter Cock]

Thanks for confirming that. I have updated the release instructions on the wiki:

http://biopython.org/wiki/Building_a_release

I've not heard back from the Twitter enquiry, but have just added the
links to the wiki page anyway.

http://biopython.org/wiki/Download

Which version of NumPy do you have on your machine for Python 3.5? I
try to note this on the wiki because they do change their API from
time to time.

Thanks,

Peter
