Biopython appears to be installed okay, and this is an issue with
parsing EMBOSS output from the program seqmatchall. If you aren't
planning on using EMBOSS, then you can go ahead and use the rest of
Biopython without any worries.
To figure out the issue, it would be useful to know the version of
EMBOSS you are using:
% embossversion
Writes the current EMBOSS version number to a file
6.0.1
If it's an older one, a simple fix may be to upgrade. You should be
able to run 'apt-get update emboss' on ubuntu:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/emboss
Hope this helps,
Brad
