I want to use the handle returned by Entrez.efetch() twice.
First time, write the xml to a file
f.write(handle._handle.read())
But I want to know how much records are in there.
records = Entrez.read(handle)
print(records['Count'])
This doesn't work here because the handle is "empty" after the first
read()-call.
Open an read the xml-file would be a resource wasting workaround and not
a solution.
