Thank you for all of the advice. I am going to try the dictionary route first thing tomorrow.
This code is a part of larger code theat: 1) quires the BLAST database using BioPython 2) parses the data using BioPython, 3) dumps to text files 4) then merges the text files and sorts them. Somewhere down stream this goes into a spreadsheet. Regards, Ara -- Quis hic locus, quae regio, quae mundi plaga. Ubi sum. Sub ortu solis an sub cardine glacialis ursae.
