[Biopython-dev] Bio.Entrez batch download example with retries

[Peter Cock]

Hi Vincent,

Not yet - feel free to open one, or just go straight to pull request.

I would suggest modifying the batch example in the Tutorial section
"Searching for and downloading sequences using the history" or
"Searching for and downloading abstracts using the history" - this
would then flow nicely. i.e. Here's the simple version, and here we
add error handling to pause/retry.
