[Biopython] A potential printing error in the Biopython Tutorial and Cookbook?

Hi to all,

I believe that there is a printing error in the Biopython Tutorial and Cookbook...

Go there:

http://www.biopython.org/DIST/docs/tutorial/Tutorial.html#htoc102

Then check the following source code:

>>> for record in records:
...     print "title:", record["TI"]
...     if "AU" in records:
...         print "authors:", record["AU"]
...     print "source:", record["CO"]
...     print

I believe that the if sentence would have the record instead of the records because it would never print such an information about the authors since the data structure of records does not have this key but always integers as its indices.

Let me know if I am right or not.

Thanks very much,
