[Biopython] Having a hard time getting a handle on handles

[Eric Talevich]

OK, the "iteration" is where you're trying to construct a list. Where it
says:

blast_record = list(NCBIXML.read(result_handle))

Try:

blast_record = NCBIXML.read(result_handle)
print blast_record

And see what's in the blast_record object. That should make it more clear
how the rest of your code should navigate it.
