I was trying to exploit the PubMed stuff and
followed the Cookbook available from the documentation page. No success!
The problem is the import stuff:
in all the docs I found it is shown as
from Bio.Medline import PubMed
from Bio import Medline
but what really works is:
from Bio import PubMed
from Bio.PubMed import Medline
After those imports a parser and dict can
be set up just as in the example code in the Cookbook. And it works very good!

Maybe the docs went out of sync with the code
some time ago...

Anyway, this stuff should be fixed in the docs
so that other people can use biopython's Medline without having to figure out
what's wrong first.

OED.
