[Biopython] request to solve unistallation and installation biopython in two version of python under ubantu linux vertually in window7 using Oracle box.

[kakchingtabam pawankumar sharma]

Thanks for your reply.


Dear Eric,I have reinstall the ubantu using oracle VM virtual box. rit now
in my system i have python2.6 so instead of python2.6, i would like to have
python 2.7  and 3.1. for this two separate biopython also. so kindly tel me
the *required exact commands to instal*l in my system.



Dear Pete,r u mean to say is that python 3 is not possible to use biopython
package. but i was reading a book called PYTHON FOR BIOINFORMATICS 2010
edition.  this author taught us using biopython in python3 version. they
kept emphasising the reader to learn python3 version.

With best regards,
Pawankumar sharma
