"""This module provides code to work with the BLAST XML output following the DTD available on the NCBI FTP ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/documents/xml/NCBI_BlastOutput.dtd Classes: BlastParser Parses XML output from BLAST (direct use discouraged). This (now) returns a list of Blast records. Historically it returned a single Blast record. You are expected to use this via the parse or read functions. _XMLParser Generic SAX parser (private).
