Re: [Q] Scripting interface.

Hi,

I joined IRC 2 minutes after you left... and indeed, so far it's a quiet
place :-)

So far (pyblio 1.2), the bibtex parser is in C with a python binding. It
also proved to be a pain to port (as there were endless issues with GNU
recode on which it depends). The other importers are in pure python.

I'll try hard for 1.3 to not have hard requirements on external compiled
dependencies.

Regard OO.org integration (a feature that is very high on the wish list
:-)), do you know what would be needed to have some tight interaction ?
(ie, inserting entries from the db itself, displaying the actual biblio
keys in the document, inserting the final biblio where requested,...) I
had no time to dig in the doc, so if you could provide us with a rough
sketch...
