Installation

The library is available on PyPI, so you can install it with pip:

pip install bibdec

Simple example

Below is a minimal example demonstrating with only one key. However, you can also decorate a function with multiple keys, or even have conditional citations based on the function signature. More complex examples are available in the example section of the documentation.

from bibdec import Bibliography

bibtex = """
@article{key1,
author = {Some Author},
title = {Some paper},
journal = {Some Journal},
year = {1999},
volume = {42},
number = {100 -- 150}
}
"""
bibliography = Bibliography(bibtex)

@bibliography.register_cites("key1")
def f(a):
    return a + 2

print("Before calling the function:")
print(bibliography.citations)
print(bibliography.active_bibliography)

f(0)
print("After calling the function:")
print(bibliography.citations)
print(bibliography.active_bibliography)

Output:

Before calling the function:
{}

After calling the function:
{'__main__.f()': {'key1'}}
@article{key1,
author = {Some Author},
journal = {Some Journal},
number = {100 -- 150},
title = {Some paper},
volume = {42},
year = {1999}
}
