[BioPython] NCBIWWW.blast(): how to get text formatted output

[Frank Kauff]

Hi folks,

does anybody know which is the correct value for format_type in
NCBIWWW.blast() to get a plain text output? It's 'html' by default, and
I tried format_type='txt'/'text'/'plain'/'plaintext' and even 'ascii',
but still it returns html. And maybe I'm blind, but is there any place
in the web which lists exactly the different options?

Thanks,
Frank

PS: and the show_overview question is still open... :-)
