           Summary: Entrez.efetch: the default value of 'retmode' depends on
                    the database
           Product: Biopython
           Version: 1.49b
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Main Distribution
        AssignedTo: biopython-dev at biopython.org
        ReportedBy: dalloliogm at gmail.com

minor issue: Entrez.efetch and Entrez.esummary have different 'retmode' default
values.

This sometimes is confusing for the users.

>>> Entrez.esummary(db='snp', id=1).readline()
<?xml...?>

>>> Entrez.efetch(db='snp', id=1).readline()
