bibtex bootstrapper/importer #2

Closed pkgw closed 10 years ago

pkgw commented 10 years ago

Like issue #1 but for bibtex. If we solve this, we can get #1 pretty much for free since ADS can feed us bibtex. However, I worry about dealing with the bibtex format. In practice we can probably get a good start without having to get too nuts, though.

Yeah -- maybe focus on a few of the simpler fields to start? Just having a piece of code that generates the .txt file you need, even with lots of blank fields, would be a major boon to your head beta tester

Yeah, I'll see how much I can get done in a first cut over the next few days. I recall seeing a Python bibtex parser out there, which would certainly cut down on some of the effort needed.

As long as I'm gonna work on this, do you mind emailing me your bibtex file to use as a test case?
