[Biopython] From genome to lineage with Entrez

[Fabio Gori]

Hi all,

I have downloaded all the bacterial genomes 
(ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/genomes/Bacteria/all.fna.tar.gz) and I want to compare 
their taxonomic lineages.

I'm looking for a way to get their lineages with Entrez. From the files I can 
get the accession numbers and GIs, but I don't know how to get their taxonomic 
ids.
I know that I can step from GIs to Taxids processing the file 
gi_taxid_nucl.dmp, but I'd prefer to use Entrez. 


Thanks in advance,

Fabio
