[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#899205: numpy boolean subtract, the `-` operator, is deprecated, use the bitwise_xor, the `^` operator, or the logical_xor function instead (Was: Bug#899205: python-cogent: Test suite fails with latest matplotlib)

Without analyzing the code in the fine details, and assuming self._data
is a numpy array or a subclass, I think the name of the variable is
misleading.  Looking at the whole function it seems to be a bool array.
It should be easy to confirm this with pdb or simply inserting a print()
statement in the right place.

    def stripBadAndGaps(self):
        """Returns copy of self with bad chars and gaps excised."""
        gap_indices = map(self.Alphabet.index, self.MolType.Gaps)
        valid_indices = self._data < len(self.Alphabet)
        for i in gap_indices:
            valid_indices -= self._data == i
        result = compress(valid_indices, self._data)
        return self.__class__(result, Info=self.Info)

The fix should be to replace the subtraction with:

    valid_indices ^= self._data == i

Cheers,
Dan
