Hi, I imported BioPython version 1.71 into the packaging Git[1] and tried to build it. Unfortunately I'm stumbling upon some encoding problem in (maybe?) setup.py:
... dh_auto_clean pybuild --clean -i python{version} -p 2.7 I: pybuild base:217: python2.7 setup.py clean running clean removing '/home/andreas/debian-maintain/salsa/med-team/build-area/python-biopython-1.71+dfsg/.pybuild/cpython2_2.7/build' (and everything under it) 'build/bdist.linux-x86_64' does not exist -- can't clean it 'build/scripts-2.7' does not exist -- can't clean it pybuild --clean -i python{version} -p 3.6 I: pybuild base:217: python3.6 setup.py clean Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 435, in <module> readme_rst = handle.read() File "/usr/lib/python3.6/encodings/ascii.py", line 26, in decode return codecs.ascii_decode(input, self.errors)[0] UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 7116: ordinal not in range(128) E: pybuild pybuild:336: clean: plugin distutils failed with: exit code=1: python3.6 setup.py clean dh_auto_clean: pybuild --clean -i python{version} -p 3.6 returned exit code 13 ... I admit I have no idea how to fix this. Any idea? Kind regards Andreas. [1] https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/python-biopython -- http://fam-tille.de
