Hello, anybody out there?

Pybliographic is a great program and I've drawn several people to use
Linux and LaTeX just because pybliographic is so friendly.

I've got a little format problem in Ubuntu 9.04, I'm using pybliographic  1.2.11

I'm trying to finish a paper in which there are a lot of newspapers
and websites cited. This is unfamiliar territory for me.  I've started
using biblatex to process the bibliography, mainly because it has some
classes for "verbose" footnote style citations (which one publisher
requires).  I believe the problem would be the same with bibtex.

Anyway, In Pybliographic, one can enter the day, month, and year.
When I enter 1 for the day and 04 for the month, the pybliographic
file has this:

 month          = {1 } # apr,

That generates some latex warnings and incomplete output in the citation.

In the biblatex manual, it outlines several methods for dates.  It
says one can enter a date with the field

date = 2009-04-01

Or one can use

year    =  2009
month =  {4}
or
month = aug
day     =  {1}

In the bibtex documentation, I do not find any mention of a field
"day", but biblatex has it.

however, neither seems to understand pybliographic's  month field.
