We should keep this open until dendropy issues a fix & then bump our dendropy pin before closing. Comment back here when you hear from them!
I just opened an issue: https://github.com/jeetsukumaran/DendroPy/issues/141. That said, in doing the necessary legwork to open the issue, I discovered that this bug doesn't seem to occur with newer versions of Python, so it may be less urgent.

Description
I'm assuming this is actually a Dendropy bug but it's very relevant to our purposes and I haven't investigated it enough to open an issue there so I'm just noting it here for now.
I know this sounds completely ridiculous but I've replicated it multiple times. When working at the interactive python prompt, using tab autocompletion on a dendropy object built with alifedata-phyloinformatics-convert changes the contents of the tree. I'm not positive about this, but I think it might remove all non-branching edges (which is actually kind of convenient because that's what I was about to try to do, but also it doesn't seem like a reliable way to achieve that).
