Unfortunately you have fallen foul of a known issue in Biopython 1.44
(bug 2993), which has since been fixed:
http://bugzilla.open-bio.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2393

If you can hold on a few weeks we do hope to have Biopython 1.45 out
"shortly".  You could update to CVS, or perhaps most simply I can
suggest you use the one line fix in the NCBIDictionary class, see:
http://bugzilla.open-bio.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2393#c2
