Can you get GenBank.search_for() to work fine with a predefined search
term?

When you are using raw_input() to get the user to type in some search
terms, have you tried stripping off any whitespace (new lines, spaces)
as that might cause problems.

If you could show us a short example that doesn't work it would be
easier to try and help.
