simplepybtex

WARNING: While this package copies some of the code and functionality of the pybtex package, it is by no means a full drop-in replacement. It was created because pybtex appears to be no longer maintained and the imminent removal of pkg_resources - which is a dependency of current pybtex - would render pybtex un-installable (see https://bitbucket.org/pybtex-devs/pybtex/issues/169/replace-pkg_resources-with ). We (the maintainers of simplepybtex) are unable, though, to maintain a package with the full scope of pybtex - in particular because we only use a fraction of this functionality in our packages. Thus, simplepybtex rips the functionality we rely on (basically, parsing BibTeX) out of pybtex and provides it in a package that will be installable beyond Python 3.12.

Thus, if you are looking for a replacement for pybtex, simplepybtex might work. But if you are interested in a "classic" open-source project, with an interest in feature requests and a bright future, you might want to look somewhere else. simplepybtex just keeps our software running for the time being, until we know what the "proper" way to replace pybtex will be.
