Thanks for letting me know it work Raul - we got there in the end with
the Blast XML parsing ;)

I am optimistic that Biopython will have another release by summer
2008,which will be good news for everyone else wanting to use the
NCBI's online blast (without having to mess about with the CVS code).

If you find any issues with our GenBank parser, please do get in touch
again on the mailing list (or via Bugzilla if you find a bug).

Peter
