[Biopython] [Entrez] bytes objects has no attribute 'read'

[Joshua Klein]

It looks like what’s happening here is that calling ZipFile.read() returns
bytes instead of a file-like object. To work around this, create an
instance of BytesIO from the result of z.read(), and pass that object to
Entrez.parse. BytesIO converts an in-memory byte string into a file-like
object which supports the interface the parser expects.
