I have a suggestion to improve pybliographer. It would be great if one
could make requests on NASA-ADS in a similar way than on PubMed. NASA-ADS
is the main bibliographic database for Astrophysics:

http://adswww.harvard.edu/index.html

I don't know how much work it would be to implement this. A perl
interface to the database exist and could be a starting good point:

http://search.cpan.org/~aallan/Astro-ADS-1.20.7

This tool allows to make requests to the database and returns the
results as a xml file, so I don't think that it would be too 
complicated to write a python wrapper on top of it.
