Re: changing default key for pybliographer

Interesting... I thought of writing something like this myself
(currently I just manually enter each Key).

It would be nice if this was possible without editing the system wide
pybliographer files though.  I guess I could just install everything
in my home directory and edit it there, but that's kindof a pain.  Is
there some other way to do this?

Thanks,

Scott
