You didn't say which version of BioPython you are using, I would guess 
1.42 - there have been some Bio.Blast changes since than.

Your example sequence was "ATCG", but you ran a "blastp" search.  Did 
you really mean the peptide Ala-Thr-Cys-Gly here?

If you meant to do a nucleotide search, try using "blastn" and "nr" 
instead.  That should work better.

However, there is still something funny going on.  I tried your example 
as is using the CVS code, and it fails before it even gets the blast 
results back...

Could you save the XML output to a file and email it to me; or even 
better file a bug an attach the XML file to the bug.

Thanks
