Hi Alan,
This was a minor regression in Python 2.7.4 (it worked in 2.7.3),
for which we have a workaround in the next release of Biopython:
http://lists.open-bio.org/pipermail/biopython-dev/2013-April/010505.html
Given we plan to release Biopython 1.62 soon (this month),
you could just try the latest version from the Git repository...
or wait.
Or, you could try applying this change to Biopython 1.61 instead?
https://github.com/biopython/biopython/commit/3c9de1510fd1e9da23e96d8f9213a7e86873e3f6
(If that reply was too technical, please let me know)
Regards,
Peter
