setuptools test command is removed, the package at least uses this command in it's autopkg tests.

setuptools v72.0.0:

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------

- The test command has been removed. Users relying on 'setup.py test' will need to migrate to another test runner or pin setuptools before this version. (#931)

closing. sorry, that's a glitch in filing this issue,
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/setuptools looks ok for biopython.

Aloha Matthias,

The python-biopython package relies directly on the script
run_tests.py below the Tests/ directory and does not run the
python setup.py test to trigger the test suite.  I'm checking
with setuptools 73.0.1-1, and as far as I can witness, the test
suite is still triggering and running properly both at build and
autopkgtest time.  I do see the necessary definitions in the
setup.py file allow for running setuptools test, but we're not
using it.  Maybe they should be patched out to make sure they
aren't usable any way?

For now I don't see any issue, at least none being serious, so I
reduced the severity to normal.  If I missed something, please
do let me know.  At the moment I'm under the impression this
issue was a false positive and consider closing it in a couple
of days.

Thanks for your work on trying to identify tests that might
otherwise cease more or less silently to operate properly
following this change!  I do think it is particularly useful.

Have a nice day,  :)
