How can I make multiple taxID queries using qblast and store multiple blast handles using NCBIXML?

Question

[oseias.rf.junior]

Hello everybody,

I'm new to Biopython, and programming in general, but I am trying to create a small script that iterates through a dictionary, collects each taxID, and, then, searches the protein-seq-file against this taxID-organism. When I try this code (without iteration) using a txid in the entrez_query attribute it usually works, but when using the dictionary like in this script below the final .txt file turns out to be empty.

Does anyone have an idea why? Any help is welcome!
