Re: [Biopython] Biopython 1.75 plans

The Python 3.8 wheels were built using this commit:

1325ee721b2f0dbe7c66450f7ca89cc59f9e4c01

Basically the same as the biopython-175 tagged commit
but with the Python 3.8 fix included. Should we tag this
(as well, or instead?).

Still an open question about why a particular unicode
width setting on Python 2.7 breaks things, but otherwise
a complete set of wheels are now on PyPI.
