gallica-autobib 0.1.3

Automatically match Bibliographies against bnf.gallica.fr

pygallica-autobib

Automatically match Bibliographies against bnf.gallica.fr!

Overview

pygallica-autobib will match your bibliographies against the French National Library and download articles as pdfs if possible, optionally post-processing them. Whilst it obviously cannot download articles which Gallica does not hold, it strives to achieve a 100% match rate. If you find an article it does not match, please report a bug.

Features:

• Input in RIS or Bibtex format
• Output report generated with a jinja template (templates for org-mode, html and plaintext supplied)

Online Demo

There is an online demo with a very basic interface, allowing

Installation

You need python >= 3.9 (but if anyone needs to use this with an older python, open an issue and I will refactor the few incompatible statements). Then install as usual:

pipx install gallica-autobib # prefered, if you have pipx, or
python -m pip install gallica-autobib

Standalone Usage

gallica-autobib my-bibliography.bib pdfs # match my-bibliography and put files in ./pdfs
gallica-autobib --help

As a library

from pathlib import Path
from gallica_autobib.models import Article
from gallica_autobib.query import Query, GallicaResource

target = Article(
    journaltitle="La Vie spirituelle",
    author="M.-D. Chenu",
    pages=list(range(547, 552)),
    volume=7,
    year=1923,
    title="Ascèse et péché originel",
)
query = Query(target)
candidate = Query.run().candidate # get candidate journal
gallica_resource = GallicaResource(candidate, source)
ark = gallica_resource.ark # match candidate article
gallica_resource.download_pdf(Path("article.pdf"))

or if you just want to do what the cli does:

from pathlib import Path
from gallica_resource.pipeline import BibtexParser

parser = BibtexParser(Path("outdir"))

with Path("articles.bib").open() as f:
    parser.read(f)

parser.run()
for result in parser.results:
    print(result)

for more advanced usage see the documentation and the test suite.

Developing

# ensure you have Poetry installed
pip install --user poetry

# install all dependencies (including dev)
poetry install

When your feature is ready, open a PR.

Testing

We use pytest and mypy. You may want to focus on getting unit tests passing first:

poetry run pytest --cov=gallica_autobib --cov-report html --cov-branch tests

If you have started a shell with poetry shell you can drop the poetry run.

When unittests are passing you can run the whole suite with:

poetry run scripts/test.sh

Note that tests will only pass fully if /tmp/ exists and is writeable, and if poppler and imagemagick are installed. This is due to the use of pdf-diff-visually and the rather hackish template tests.

You may wish to check your formatting first with

poetry run scripts/format.sh

Alternatively, just open a premature PR to run the tests in CI. Note that this is rather slow.

Plausibly Askable Questions

Why don't you also check xyz.com?

Because I don't know about it. Open an issue and I'll look into it.

Why don't you use library xyz for image processing?

Probably because I don't know about it. This is a quick tool written to help me research. Submit a PR and I'll happily update it.

Why is the code so verbose?

It is rather object-oriented. It might be rather over engineered. It was written in a hurry and the design evolved as it went along. On the other hand, it should be easier to extend.

Why not just extend pygallica?

I mean to submit the SRU stuff as an extension to pygallica
