Creating BibTex files with XdkBibTeX

Rob Cowie

I'm looking for a module that is able to create valid BibTex documents.
I'm currently using string substitution to create the content, but it
is not validated in any way.

The only BibTex creation module available in Python (that I can find)
is XdkBibTeX
(http://artis.imag.fr/Membres/Xavier....es/xdkbibtex/). It
is a python wrapper around a C library.

Has anyone used this? More interestingly to me... has anyone
successfully installed it on Mac OS X?

Also, can anyone suggest an alternative?

Cheers,

Rob Cowie
