There are indeed a LOT of errors in there (and a sprinkling of harmless warnings which ought really to be silenced within the test framework).
Picking on the very last one as a simple case, you got: ``` ====================================================================== FAIL: test_ColumnUnit (test_psw.TestPSW) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/tmp/python-biopython-test.HGclMQ/Tests/test_psw.py", line 75, in test_ColumnUnit "ColumnUnit(unit=0, column=33, SEQUENCE)") AssertionError: "ColumnUnit(unit=0, column=33, kind='SEQUENCE')" != 'ColumnUnit(unit=0, column=33, SEQUENCE)' - ColumnUnit(unit=0, column=33, kind='SEQUENCE') ? ------ - + ColumnUnit(unit=0, column=33, SEQUENCE) ``` This change relates to adding __repr__ to some of the PSW objects, https://github.com/biopython/biopython/commit/37f235066616c950a6b4b5544785a5c4a88f1ea1 This was included in Biopython 1.74 and 1.75, yet your copy of Tests/test_psw.py would seem to date from Biopython 1.73 or older. I suspect an old cached copy of the test folder is largely to blame?
