[BioPython] How can I retreive FASTA sequences from NCBI

[Srinivas Iyyer]

Hi , 
 I have 151,204 GenBank Accession IDs. 
I want to retreive FASTA sequences from NCBI and
compile them for my local blast. 


I am unable to get fasta sequences. I do not
understand. 

Could any one please help me. 

my code:
>>> mylis
['AA035383', 'AA971406', 'N98563']
parser = Fasta.RecordParser()
iterator = Fasta.Iterator(mylis,parser)
rec = iterator.next()
rec = iterator.next()
>>> rec
>>>

rec is empty :-(


Accession IDs are not GIs. They are GenBank accession
Ids.

I do not want sequences in GenBank (long format). I
want them in FASTA sequence format. 

Could any one pleast help me. 

Thanks
Srini
