Ahem.  The answer is to use the NCBIStandalone.Iterator, which does 
appear to work as expected for blastp at least.  It doesn't (yet) work 
for RPS-BLAST output (see previous email), and I am looking at that.

I don't know how I missed this this object... its even in the cookbook:

3.1.6  Parsing a file full of BLAST runs

Sorry!
