[Debian-med-packaging] BioPython unit tests: Tutorial

[Peter Cock]

Hi Andreas,

Python doctests are fragile because the do exact string
matching of the command and its output. Normally the
docstrings live inside the Python source code within the
module comments as documentation. Here the doctests
are embedded within our LaTeX tutorial.

To get more information, try - probably after installing
Biopython:

$ cd Tests/
$ python test_Tutorial.py
