Dear group, 
 there are 2 questions that are important to my
research.  I hope group members who have tried would
be willing to help me. 

1. How do I use E-utils using python, bio-python
modules. Are there any examples?

2. here is the specific that I want to do. I am
interested in downloading all the human affymetrix
data submitted to GEO site. 

for example:GSE2152_RAW_tar is the raw CEL file
package submitted to GEO by the authors.  It is in the
directory:
ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/geo/data/geo/raw_data/series/GSE2152/GSE2152_RAW.tar

However, checking manually for every dataset that is
submitted to ncbi is pains taking procedure. So I want
to be able to write a script that would check for
every dataset submitted to GEO. After that I want to
filter human tar files. 

Has any one did this before.  could you please help
me. 

Thanks
Srini
