Hi all,

Should we be suggesting "pip install biopython" as the
first approach under "For the impatient" in the README,
over download the source then:

    $ python setup.py build
    $ python setup.py test
    $ sudo python setup.py install

I did add pip to the wiki, but perhaps that was premature?

Also, can we get rid of the easy_install section on the wiki
in favour of pip?

Peter
