I'm trying to install biopython on my laptop. I have mac os x 10.7.5, python 2.7, and have installed numpy I believe.
I can run the 'import Bio' command in python without any errors but when I try run 'python setup.py test' I get 6 errors which you can see below.

Basically I need to know if I have done everything I need to do correctly? If I have then why are these 6 tests failing and will that impact my future use of biopython?

Thanks.
