Dunno. Perhaps

$ cat retrieve_fasta2.py
import urllib2
import Bio.SeqIO

seq = raw_input("Introduce pdb code \n")

seq = urllib2.urlopen(
    "http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/files/fasta.txt?structureIdList="
    + seq
)

seqs = [record.seq.tostring() for record in Bio.SeqIO.parse(seq, "fasta")]
print seqs
$ python retrieve_fasta2.py
Introduce pdb code
