Help: Problem With Biopython When Retrieving Sequence Records From Expasy (Solved)

Question

[Peiska]

I am doing a BioPython Script that reads IDs from a .txt and retrieves corresponding sequence records from ExPASy service. I just start to program in BioPython a few weeks ago, and I really dont know why this is not working. Can someone help me please?

This is my code:

from Bio import ExPASy

from Bio import SeqIO

openfile = open("idlist.txt", "r")

ids=openfile.readlines()

i=0

while i< len (ids):

handle = ExPASy.get_sprot_raw(ids[i])

seq_record = SeqIO.read(handle, "swiss") #Program crashes here

print seq_record.id
print seq_record.name
print seq_record.description
print repr(seq_record.seq)
print "Length %i" % len(seq_record)
print seq_record.annotations["keywords"]


i+=1

handle.close()

The text file with the IDS has this format and this ids separated by lines:

[Peiska]

Solved: handle = ExPASy.get_sprot_raw(ids[i].strip())
