[Biopython] Get Organism Given Bio.Blast.Record.Blast Object

Dear users,
Given a Bio.Blast.Record.Blast object is it possible to recover the organism
name without using entrez to query the NCBI servers?

Often the organism is listed in Bio.Blast.Record.Alignment.title but I do
not see a way to reliably extract it from this data.

I have reviewed the API  and the UML diagram in the cookbook:
http://www.biopython.org/DIST/docs/api/Bio.Blast.Record-module.html and
http://www.biopython.org/DIST/docs/tutorial/Tutorial.html#fig:blastrecordrespectively



Input is appreciated,
--Matthew Strand
