I wrote an MCEdit filter that can set biomes. There's a lot of very cool stuff you can do with this, including:
Preventing ALL mob spawns in a certain area of your map
Preventing rain and passive mob spawns
Having areas of your overworld that spawn Nether mobs
Having areas of your overworld that have a dark sky and only spawn Endermen

Just put the filter file into the Filters folder in your MCEdit installation, and it'll show up in the MCEdit filters list.
"I often think about that old metaphor, the one that says we are all islands on a wide sea. Especially these days, now that things are more difficult than before and the world appears to be harsher than we once imagined it to be. We are all like islands, the philosopher said. Perhaps it's true. Yet I cannot help but remember an older saying, scratched on a cave wall somewhere by a long-forgotten prophet: in the end, the sea will claim everything."
When I first downloaded it, I had a the 1.0 version (unstable?) of MCedit which is third on the download page. I'm pretty sure I had that one and it asked to update, so it updated. I downloaded the filter but it didn't show up, it looks like that version needed two versions of the file. Py and something else.
So I deleted that version and downloaded 1.1, first on the list which didn't ask to update. The filter showed up. I made an absolutely massive selection and made it a desert. It worked as usual, but when it finished and the chunks were rendering, MCedit closed and nothing changed. "1 unsaved edit" didn't show up before it crashed, while it should. I think this is an unstable version so it can't handle large selections?
Look where you downloaded the folder containing all the stuff. It's named something like MCEdit-0.1.1win32. Open that folder, then the filter folder, and drag the setbiome.py file into it.
Using this, I have actually changed the biomes of my city's various parks that represent the different biomes. Now if only if I could get a Jungle filter...
How do I install this filter into MCEdit? This is pretty cool, but I am having trouble for trying to install filters such as this one. If anyone can help me, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Fixed the link. When I replaced the link before, it updated the link text, but not the actual link location.
