About

Bibpy is a (yet another) BibTex file parser in python.

What's different ?

It doesn't depend on libraries like pyparser etc. It's small and fast. Also, sometimes it recovers from common errors.

What grammar is parsing ?

The BNF it parses is based on http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/16490/the-gold-standard-in-bibtex-databases/16492#16492

A rough grammar (case-insensitive):

 Database  ::= (Junk '@' Entry)*
 Junk      ::= .*?
 Entry 	   ::= Record | Comment | String | Preamble
 Comment   ::= "comment" [^\n]* \n     -- ignored
 String    ::= "string" '{' Field* '}'
 Preamble  ::= "preamble" '{' .* '}'   -- (balanced)
 Record    ::= Type '{' Key ',' Field* '}'
       	   |   Type '(' Key ',' Field* ')' -- not handled
 Type  	   ::= Name
 Key   	   ::= Name
 Field     ::= Name '=' Value
 Name      ::= [^\s\"#%'(){}]*
 Value ::= [0-9]+
       |   '"' ([^'"']|\\'"')* '"'
       |   '{' .* '}'          -- (balanced)
