First answer was without discrete numbers but in the second one they<br>
told me asking for 500 (retmax for eSearch) is a "reasonable" value<br>
because the eBot (a tool they offer on their website) use it, too.<br>
<br>
No I have nearly 13.000 PIDs I want to fetch their article infos via<br>
eFetch. It is a lot. ;)<br>
<br>
But I am not sure how to do that with biopython. When I separate that<br>
in 500-packages I would have 26 different record objects back.<br>
I don't like that. I would prefer one big record object I can analyse.<br>
<br>
Do you see a way to merge this record objects. Or maybe there is<br>
another way for that?<br>
Or does Biopython.Entrez still handle that problem internal (like the<br>
only-3-per-second-querys-rule or the HTTP-POST-decision)?<br>
<br>
Any suggestions?<br>
