Re: [Biopython] [PATCH] Use https:// instead of git:// in examples

Hi Adam,

A pull request via GitHub would be easiest for us, but if you have
philosophical issues with their new ownership, I can understand that.

As to the issue at hand, I've had problems both ways round depending
on the network, but still lean to the git protocol by default.

What are other people's thoughts?

Thanks,

Peter
