Bug 277822 – Please stabilise sci-biology/biopython-1.49

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) 2009-07-14 15:27:45 UTC]

Needed for Python 2.6

[Comment 1 Martin Mokrejš 2009-07-17 09:23:19 UTC]

I believe the ebuilds of biopython should specify which python versions they require.

biopython-1.50 is the last requiring python-2.3 and above
biopython-1.51 (beta is out already) will require python-2.4 at least

biopython-1.50 should have already been in the tree for a long while, remote database APIs are changing quickly so it is not useful to run 1.49. For me access to pubmed is unusable with 1.49 through efetch. :(

Just stabilize 1.49 and let's move to 1.50.
