If one has a list of Entrez IDs, how to identify programmatically those that are pseudogenes in order to remove them from the list and keep only those IDs corresponding to genes?

You can download the Gene Info file for your organism of interest from here ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/gene/DATA/GENE_INFO/
ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/gene/README (column definitions, go to gene_info)
Second and tenth columns represent "gene id" and "type of gene". You will have to write a small script.

Thank you!
Do you know if there's a similar way of identifying deprecated Entrez IDs and replace old IDs by the corresponding new ones?
