A library to handle BibTeX bibliographic data.
Project description
biblib is a (pure) python library that provides several useful classes, methods and functions to work with BibTeX bibliographic data within your python scripts.
The idea is to enabling you to prepare your own tools, which are specifically tailored to your own literature investigation scheme, comfortably.
Usage example
The following code will add a citation by their DOI:
import biblib
# create database from BibTeX file
dbObj = biblib.db_from_file('bibtex.bib')
# retrieve bibliographic meta data by DOI
entryObj = biblib.entry_from_doi('10.1088/0959-5309/43/5/301')
# add new entry to database
dbObj.add_entry(entryObj)
# write database to a new BibTeX file
biblib.db_to_file(dbObj,'new.bib')
Requirements
currently only Python 2
isbnlib for retreving citation entries via ISBN number
python-magic for detecting character encoding
Installation
You can install the latest version from the Python package index. From the command line, enter (in some cases you have to precede the command with sudo):

To install it manual, download the archive, unpack it, and type (in some cases you have to precede the command with sudo):
$ python setup.py install
