Pybliographer is a high quality tool for working with bibliographic databases. It provides a general framework to manipulate this type of database, with a friendly graphical interface. It is also extensible with a scripting language to tailor the applicaiton to a user’s requirements.
Pybliographer supports BibTeX, Medline, Ovid and Refer files. Use this software for viewing, editing, and searching bibliographic databases, as well as to convert them into different formats such as HTML.
Yelp (part of GNOME) is required to view the Pybliographic manual from within the graphical user interface.
It is a simple framework that provides easy to use python classes and functions. It can therefore be extended for many different functions (generating HTML pages according to bibliographic searches, etc).
