Hi Rob,

You should first change to the directory then run setup:

cd /Users/Rubenmars/Downloads/biopython-1.56
python setup.py install

Note you need to send your emails to biopython at lists.open-bio.org (or
biopython at lbiopython.org), not biopython-owner at lists.open-bio.org which
just does to a handful of people who help look after the mailing list.
