While there aren't any specific talks about biopython, there will be a
fair number of bioinformatics folks in attendance.  I would expect
there to be a BoF and possibly a code sprint.  Last year Titus Brown
organized a BoF to discuss biopython-related issues:

And it looks like Titus is starting to organize a pygr sprint this year:

Not too many people have responded to his email yet, but I know that
several of those who attended last year's BoF have all ready
registered.  The SciPy conference is relatively small and there is a
lot of interesting discussions that take place around the actual
conference program.

By the way, the deadline for early registration was extended to Monday
night because of some problems with accepting credit card payments.

Hope to see you there,
