Well, I should point out again that Bio.PDB now contains a very nice module 
(donated by Kristian Rother) called PDBList that not only can download a
list of specified PDB files from the PDB site, but also allows you to weekly 
retrieve new or modified structures. It can also be run as a cron job to keep 
your local PDB distribution up-to-date.
