[BioPython] Biopython 1.20 released

[Peter Slickers]

The newly released archive I have obtained from
http://www.biopython.org/download/ in incomplete.
The whole './Martel' subdirectory is missing.

As a result of this, it is impossible to run
python setup.py successfully in the main directory.
But this problem ONLY occurs when no Martel is
installed at all. If you already have a Martel
from a previous biopython installation, that code is used
and no errors occur.

Is it intended to distribute Martel as a standalone
package?

----------------------------------------------------------------

To reproduce the error, you have to remove any old
Martel before starting the new installation:


cd $somewhere/lib/python2.2/site-packages/
mv Martel Martel_old

cd $elsewhere
tar zxf biopython-1.20.tar.gz
cd biopython-1.20
python setup.py build

running build
running build_py
