No - for the time being BioPython still needs to "old" Numeric module,
but will eventually move to the new "numpy" instead.
The download page tried to make this clear:

Sorry, I missed this. I was just working through the PDF installation
manual. Can I just install Numeric alongside Numpy, or do I have to try to remove
Numpy in some way?

At the top of the page, choose "Fasta" instead of "Summary", increase
the number of records if you like, use the "Send To" drop down menu and
pick "file". Your web browser should then ask you where to save this
fasta file.
The NBCI webpages do change every so often, but its usually fairly clear
how to save the data to file...
A dumb question, I know, but I'm coming to biopython to try to teach myself
a little about bioinformatics programming. My background is chemistry /
general biology / molecular&cell biology, so the computer programming side of the
subject is completely new to me and is taking a bit of time to get to grips
with :-)
Thanks for the quick replies,
Tim
