So, my tests were run like this:

- set up an Ubuntu server install of the given version.
- installed build-essential python-dev git-core python-virtualenv
- ran:
$ git clone git://github.com/chapmanb/biopython.git
$ virtualenv test
$ source test/bin/activate
$ pushd biopython
$ pip install .
$ popd
$ python -c "import Bio; print Bio.__version__"

Current results are:
10.04: works great
12.04: fails, telling me that numpy is required
12.10: fails, telling me that numpy is required

Cheers,
Kai
