[Biopython-dev] Testing Biopython 1.67 wheels for Windows?

[Peter Cock]

Yes, these 32bit wheels on a 32bit Python installation
on a 64bit Windows ought to work - so that'd be useful.
I'll email you tomorrow from my work computer...

The ABI tag warning is worrying me slightly so we may
need to try these out on a few different pip versions on
the installation machine:
