[Biopython] Biopython 1.63 beta release

[Peter Cock]

Thank you Tiago, on behalf of us all, for handling the Biopython 1.63
beta release.

Hopefully other than accounts (for the webserver & blog etc)
things went smoothly, and I see you've already updated some
little details on the wiki so make it easier for the next person :)
