2009-12-10 Thread MaxTheMouse
I ran into a couple of things while creating a script to install some optional packages. pil-1.1.6 is listed as an optional package and pil-1.1.6.p2 is listed as standard. The optional one can be dropped? A couple of optional packages have multiple versions. $ sage -c "install_package('pyx')" Po

I decided to try patching the test but I now realise that test_Wise.py is not actually the problem. In fact since I don't have the WISE2 software installed that test is skipped. The actual test is in the doc string of the module. """ >>> os.environ["WISE_KBYTE"]="30" >>> _build_align

Hi all, I am playing around with the new biopython spkg (1.52). In particular, I would like to have a spkg-check script to run the included tests. This mostly works and the test skips testing modules that are not installed. I am having one problem however. I get a failure with one test.
