Hello binbin,

A long long time ago there was a Bio.Entrez module which was deleted in 2000.

We are going to re-introduce a Bio.Entrez module in Biopython 1.46
(hopefully out next month?), which will replace Bio.WWW.NCBI.  If you
want to try this out now, please install the latest CVS version of
Biopython from source.

Can I ask why are you trying to do "from Bio import Entrez"?

Peter
