Allow entrez_fetch to parse XML files for which retype != "xml" #72

Closed dwinter closed 8 years ago

dwinter commented 8 years ago

At present, the parsed option for entrez_fetch only returns parsed object for XML records. It does this by checking the value of rettype. However, several databases can return records in multiple different XML specifications, each of which corresponding to a different value of rettype.
