Re: Biopython 1.70 plans

Hello all,

Michael & Adil: Those deprecations are now done, thanks:
https://github.com/biopython/biopython/pull/1292
https://github.com/biopython/biopython/pull/1303

Given a recent pip/numpy query, I'd like someone to
review at a further change to setup.py regarding our
NumPy dependency:

https://github.com/biopython/biopython/pull/1307

This would make NumPy a hard requirement (except on
Jython which we plan to drop, and IronPython which
as far as I know has not been tested with Biopython for
quite some time and is even less important).

This would also switch from requirements.txt to putting
the dependency in setup.py (since we now use setuptools
in place of distutils).

Otherwise I think we're about ready for Biopython 1.70
(there are a few nearly ready pull requests which might
make it in as well), which I'd like to try to do this week.

Peter
