</span>If release tools abort on the plus suffix that's usually a feature :)<br>
We switch to a "proper" version number during the release build<br>
process anyway. We could use something with the git hash but<br>
that isn't OK according to <a href="https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/</a><br>
<br>
I suppose a fixed -dev suffix might be a good compromise?<br>

</span>Another tweak like this? Yes please for another pull request:<br>

<br>
You may be right about shell=True as a simpler option.<br>

</span>Is this work on one of your branches?<br>
<br>
Do you see Appveyor as offering both continuous integration<br>
testing on Windows (yay!) and a way to build installers?<br>
<br>
We have TravisCI for Linux, potentially with Mac OS X support.<br>
<a href="http://testing.open-bio.org/biopython/tgrid" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://testing.open-bio.org/biopython/tgrid</a><br>
<br>
We also run a buildbot instance to get nightly cross platform<br>
testing but it depends on volunteer buildslave machines - right<br>
now my old Windows XP box is offline for some reason, while<br>
the Java on another machine is too old for the latest Jython.<br>
