When reading an NCBI output from base_entrez_fetch, the genome version seems to be stored differently across various species.

For instance, in Danio rerio, it can be found under:

test = base_entrez_fetch('gene', gene_id, rettype='gb', retmode='xml', max_list_len=3000)

version = test[0][0]['Entrezgene_locus'][0]['Gene-commentary_heading'] 

However, that same indexing ([0][0]['Entrezgene_locus'][0]['Gene-commentary_heading']) does not return the genome version for a different species, such as Homo sapiens. I am working with various species, and I was wondering if there was a way to consistently retrieve the genome version across those species.
