Great! I am once again amazed by your speed. I set SAGE_SERVER as you said, but my attempt at installing fails to get the package. The output is appended below. I doing this on a PPC (G4) Apple powerbook, with sage 2.0 upgraded to 2.3.
I had tried to read the documentation you suggested - I was only volunteering to try this because it seemed relatively simple! I've installed biopython 1.42 on linux, apple, and windows machines, but I haven't tried a normal install of 1.43 yet (its quite recent). I am not sure what mxTextTools is doing; in a python install I just do 'sudo python setup.py install' although I am not sure that the sudo is necessary. I'll also give this a try on the Mac Pro (Intel) in my office when I get in.
