Was this an old email you accidently forwarded to the list?

For the next release of Biopython the only bits of code still using
mxTextTools have been deprecated, so the Biopython setup won't even
look for mxTextTools at all.  Right now with Biopython 1.48 you can
just install without mxTextTools (as the setup.py prompt should make
clear).
