Hi, it seems that BioPython 1.75 has solved all issues with Python 3.8. However, when trying to build the Debian package I get the following issues in the Build-Time test suite:
... ====================================================================== ERROR: Bio.KDTree._CKDTree ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "run_tests.py", line 367, in runTest optionflags=doctest.ELLIPSIS) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/doctest.py", line 2412, in DocTestSuite raise ValueError(module, "has no docstrings") ValueError: (<module 'Bio.KDTree._CKDTree' from '/build/python-biopython-1.75+dfsg/.pybuild/cpython2_2.7/build/Bio/KDTree/_CKDTree.so'>, 'has no docstrings') ====================================================================== ERROR: Bio.Nexus.cnexus ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "run_tests.py", line 367, in runTest optionflags=doctest.ELLIPSIS) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/doctest.py", line 2412, in DocTestSuite raise ValueError(module, "has no docstrings") ValueError: (<module 'Bio.Nexus.cnexus' from '/build/python-biopython-1.75+dfsg/.pybuild/cpython2_2.7/build/Bio/Nexus/cnexus.so'>, 'has no docstrings') ====================================================================== ERROR: Bio.PDB.QCPSuperimposer.qcprot ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "run_tests.py", line 367, in runTest optionflags=doctest.ELLIPSIS) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/doctest.py", line 2412, in DocTestSuite raise ValueError(module, "has no docstrings") ValueError: (<module 'Bio.PDB.QCPSuperimposer.qcprotmodule' from '/build/python-biopython-1.75+dfsg/.pybuild/cpython2_2.7/build/Bio/PDB/QCPSuperimposer/qcprotmodule.so'>, 'has no docstrings') ====================================================================== ERROR: Bio.PDB.kdtrees ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "run_tests.py", line 367, in runTest optionflags=doctest.ELLIPSIS) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/doctest.py", line 2412, in DocTestSuite raise ValueError(module, "has no docstrings") ValueError: (<module 'Bio.PDB.kdtrees' from '/build/python-biopython-1.75+dfsg/.pybuild/cpython2_2.7/build/Bio/PDB/kdtrees.so'>, 'has no docstrings') ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 519 tests in 287.024 seconds FAILED (failures = 4) Skipping any tests requiring internet access Python version: 2.7.17 (default, Oct 19 2019, 23:36:22) [GCC 9.2.1 20191008] ... Any hint how to solve this? Greetings from Biohackathon Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
