Hi,
I have some python code (using BioPython 1.58) that uses Bio.Entrez to pull
out information on 50 papers from pubmed. I have had no problem with this
code until yesterday when I started getting HTTP Error 500 messages that
continue until today. For example...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "sp_tools.py", line 421, in top_papers_dict
rettype="medline", retmode="text")
File
"/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Bio/Entrez/__init__.py",
line 113, in efetch
return _open(cgi, variables)
File
"/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Bio/Entrez/__init__.py",
line 360, in _open
raise exception
urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 500: Internal server error
The parameters I'm using are
db = pubmed
rettype = medline
retmode = text
Anyone have an idea why this might be happening now?
Thanks!
Alexandra
