[Biopython] Formatting of the xml return from Entrez DB Gene is not parsed correctly

Hi,

I am trying to parse out the nucleic acid accession numbers from an  
Entrez.efetch query made to the Gene database. For some reason the  
parser does not create a dictionary when I call handle.read on it,  
even when I force the query to return xml. It just generates a string.

Any ideas if another parser needs to be utilized?

Many thanks

Mike
