Okay.

I've changed the description to this:

     "Biopython is a set of tools for biological computation including pa=
rsers
for bioinformatics files into Python data structures; interfaces to commo=
n
bioinformatics programs; a standard sequence class and tools for performi=
ng
common operations on them; code to perform data classification; code for
dealing with alignments; code making it easy to split up parallelizable t=
asks
into separate processes; and more."

After checking the license again, I have doubts whether it really is
Expat.  The wording of the license differs from that of the Expat
license, though the meaning is very similar.

  http://www.biopython.org/DIST/LICENSE
  http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/License:Expat

FWIW, Fedora names the license "MIT" in their python-biopython package.
Is it really okay for me to use "license:expat" or should I use a
different one?
