[Biopython-dev] Preparing for Biopython 1.67

[Peter Cock]

This is live on PyPI now:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/biopython/

If anyone could test that now for any last minute issues, please
do so.

I still need to do the Windows installers and our own download page,
then the release announcement for emailing and the OBF blog.
