Thanks Vincent,

Yes, that's what I was hoping for :)

I made some comments on https://github.com/biopython/biopython/pull/436

Can you look at those and update the pull request? The simplest way is
make a second commit on your branch, and push the updated branch to
github which will automatically update the pull request.

As an aside, since you are working on that example, we ought to make it
more PEP8 compliant - note the white space changes from:

     for start in range(0,count,batch_size):
        end = min(count, start+batch_size)
        print("Going to download record %i to %i" % (start+1, end))

to:

     for start in range(0, count, batch_size):
        end = min(count, start + batch_size)
        print("Going to download record %i to %i" % (start + 1, end))

There are probably quite a few bits like that still in the Tutorial, but this
is not urgent.

Thanks,

Peter
