If you assure me that that would work (with a current release of  
Biopython), I'll change it accordingly.

BTW also in regard to a previous comment from Sebastian, the file  
cor6_6.gb is in fact in that same directory in biosql.

As another aside, if either of you would like write permission to  
biosql so you can maintain that document yourself that would be no  
problem.
