Problem to install the package BCBio from biopython - not available?

Question

[marcela.uliano]

Hey guys!

I have a exonarate gff result and I'm trying to covert it to gb format, so I can train ausgustus!

The thing is I've found this script https://github.com/robsyme/nextflow-annotate/blob/master/bin/gff2gb but I'm having a dependency with the BCBio from Biopython.

I've been trying to install biopython (and such dependency) in a virtual machine on the cluster where I work, but I find Biopython webpage to be offline!!

Can someone help me to get this file so I can install it?

Thank you so much!

As recently announced by OBF the website is indeed offline:

The Biopython, BioPerl, BioSQL, etc websites are currently down (but not the main OBF website and blog), may need a server rebuild... sorry!

I expect it to be temporarily.
