We might be able to do that under the Open Bioinformatics Foundation as a GSoC umbrella organisation if we're accepted into GSoC this year [I'm not directly involved but am on the OBF board]: http://mailman.open-bio.org/pipermail/open-bio-l/2016-January/001423.html The Biopython tests here are generally for our command line tool wrappers (and often catch changes to their command line API), and/or checking we can parse the latest output from the command line tools (Bioinformatics file formats are sadly often fluid). > Thanks again for getting involved into this bug report.
