[BioPython] Error retrieving from GenBank

[Sebastian Bassi]

Hello,

Is this biopython bug or just a connexion problem from my side? My
internet connexion is not good, but this problems sounds like
biopython not interacting with eutils.


>>> from Bio import GenBank
>>> gilist=GenBank.search_for("beta-conglycinin")
Traceback (most recent call last):
