RISparser 0.4.1

Reads RIS files in pure Python and provides Python dictionaries via a generator. This works also for very larg RIS files.

Usage

>>> import os
>>> from RISparser import readris
>>> from pprint import pprint

>>> filepath = 'tests/example_full.ris'
>>> with open(filepath, 'r') as bibliography_file:
...     entries = readris(bibliography_file)
...     for entry in entries:
...         pprint(entry)

TAG_KEY_MAPPING

The most fields contain string values, but some like first_authors (A1) are parsed into lists.

Complete list of ListType tags

>>> from RISparser.config import LIST_TYPE_TAGS
>>> pprint(LIST_TYPE_TAGS)
['A1', 'A2', 'A3', 'A4', 'AU', 'KW']

Override key mapping

The parser use a TAG_KEY_MAPPING, witch one can override by calling readris() with a custom mapping.

>>> import os
>>> from RISparser import readris, TAG_KEY_MAPPING
>>> from pprint import pprint

>>> filepath = 'tests/example_full.ris'
>>> mapping = TAG_KEY_MAPPING
>>> mapping["SP"] = "pages"
>>> with open(filepath, 'r') as bibliography_file:
...     entries = list(readris(bibliography_file, mapping=mapping))
...     pprint(entries[0])
{'abstract': 'BACKGROUND: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus.  RESULTS: Donec quam felis, ultricies nec, pellentesque eu, pretium quis, sem. Nulla consequat massa quis enim.
