title: Script for downloading Medline abstracts with PMID
body: <p>I am looking for a script that will enable me to download a set of abstracts (or article meta-data of an article) from PubMed by supplying it with a list of PubMed ID (PMID) numbers (e.g., from a .csv file).  The ideal script would be for R and then Python, but I am certainly open to any solutions or suggestions.  PubMed can be found <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p>
  
  <p>As a side note, I did find an older package called MedlineR, but this package never made it to Bioconductor, and there doesn't seem to be any recent chatter on it.  </p>
