[Biopython-dev] Biopython 1.70 release

[Peter Cock]

Hmm. I'm not sure if there is any mechanism in setuptools for
us to specify we need Python's C headers present. This is kind
of assumed if compiling anything against the Python C API.

I don't think this causes any problems for the Biopython 1.70
release, but would be worth looking at in terms of reviewing
our installation documentation:

Thanks again,

Peter
