[Biopython] Issues parsing sequences

[Markus Piotrowski]

Dear Fernanda,

 From you description it seems that you run Python from a command line 
and then insert the code.
The '...' indicate an indented block. Your second line is a for loop 
that ends with a ':', so the following lines will be indented (they are 
the body of the for loop). You just have to hit 'ENTER' two times to 
make Python clear that you are ready to execute the code block.
The execution will probably fail, if you don't have the file 
"ls_orchid.fasta" in the same directory where you have started your 
Python session.

Best, Markus
