This issue is blocking Python 3.11-add transition, but we surely do not 
want biopython to be dropped from testing. However, the problem is not 
with biopython, but with t-coffee which biopython merely uses for tests. 
Would it be acceptable to skip t-coffee tests for now thus unblocking 
Python 3.11-add transition? This bug report should remain open to remind 
us bring t-coffee tests back once #1022570 is solved.

Best,
Andrius
