Hi biopython community,

Sorry for duplicate posting if you see this post a second time.

Here I am reporting a minor typo in the tutorial of Bio.Entrez (
http://biopython.org/DIST/docs/tutorial/Tutorial.html#htoc114) and hope
biopython administrator who have appropriate editing permission of that
page to correct it.
In the middle of above page, there are several lines of codes illustrating
how to retrieve the information like author, source and title. I have
pasted the original code below, in which the typo "CO" has been highlighted
in red color, which should be corrected to "SO"

Original Version:

>>> for record in records:
...     print "title:", record.get("TI", "?")
...     print "authors:", record.get("AU", "?")
...     print "source:", record.get("*CO*", "?")
...     print


Should be corrected to:

>>> for record in records:
...     print "title:", record.get("TI", "?")
...     print "authors:", record.get("AU", "?")
...     print "source:", record.get("*SO*", "?")
...     print
