    Dear Peter,<br>
    <br>
    Built and tested on Windows 7 64 bit and Windows 10 64 bit. All
    tests (521 on my systems) passed in offline mode. 524 tests in
    online mode, of which test_NCBI_qblast failed, most likely due to a
    timeout.<br>
    <br>
    Best,<br>
    Markus<br>

          <div>I've now updated our wheel building repository to stage

          <div>Anaconda (alongside various other scientific python
            packages) in</div>
          <div>place of the expired Rackspace hosting. That means in

          <div>we should be OK to build Biopython 1.78 now.</div>

          <div>Are there any remaining issues people feel should delay

              <div>The main change is in the removal of Bio.Alphabet,

              <div>ready to make this as painless a change as possible.
                We think the tutorial is ready,</div>
