[Biopython] Mac installation problem

[Peter Cock]

You'll need Apple's XCode for the compilers
etc, available for free on the App Store - and then
from within XCode you must install the optional
command line utilities as well.

Also, I'd recommend the old fashioned way, just
download and decompress the tar-ball, then

python setup.py build
python setup.py test
sudo python setup.py install

This should match our wiki download page,
