Here is the script I am working with :
from Bio.WWW import NCBI
search_command = 'Search'
search_database = 'Nucleotide'
return_format = 'Fasta'
search_term = 'Ciliphora'
result_handle = NCBI.query(search_command, search_database, term =
search_term, doptcmdl = return_format)
import os
result_file_name = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'results.html')
result_file = open(result_file_name, 'w')
result_file.write(result_handle.read())
result_file.close()
It is basically from section "2.5 Connecting with biological
databases" in the biopython tutorial, and it works being that it gives
me an html file, however when I open the file it says that the results
cannot be displayed. Has anyone had this problem?
Thanks
Kari
