Just another reminder: If the version of the "external" python and the python shipped with PyMOL are different enough on the user's computer, the package might still fail to work in PyMOL even if the user has installed the package using the external python and edited the PYTHONPATH.
So, how about ship all the BioPython packages you need in your python code together with your plugin? Of course all dependencies should be included.
