AUTHOR COMMENTS: I like that this submission covers new features, general code improvements and deployment / teaching tools. This is a well-used project with an active developer community. Documentation on github and project website is very good.<br>

AUTHOR COMMENTS: Biopython is an important part of the bioinformatics ecosystem, and it's great to see continued progress.<br>

That said, the abstract does read as a set of release notes. A little more information about major developments (e.g. what the Docker images offer) might be welcome, as would a brief mention of post-1.66 plans.<br>
