Thanks for your response.
Would this not keep requesting/submitting additional (duplicate) BLAST
queries?

It seems like I need to use threading, and there appears to be no way to
know if NCBIWWW.qblast is still waiting on results. It will either give a

That said after some more research I found this tread.
