Please show us an example with this problem (i.e. the python
code and the traceback).

What is meant to happen is we send the query to the NCBI, and
they reply with reference details (RID and RTOE) which are
used to fetch the results after BLAST has finished running.

My guess for what is happening is your parameters are for
some reason invalid, and the NCBI is giving an error page
(so no RID and no RTOE). Biopython tries to spot any error
message in this situation, but in your case could not.
