[BioPython] AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'parse'
Dependencies and package seemed to install without a problem. Many of the test files that come with it work fine, but the SeqIO object runs into a problem. For example, the following code causes an error saying that the 'module' object has no attribute 'parse'. Is this a problem of syntax or is it an installation issue?

May 18, 2018 - xmltodict.parse(apiResult.body, item_depth=2, item_callback=handler, xml_attribs=True) where apiResult.body contains the xml shown above. But, in spite of the xml_attribs=True, I see no @id or @modified_dt in the output after parsing in the handler, although all the elements in the original do appear.
