Pybliographer

Frédéric Gobry

Pybliographer is a tool for working with bibliographic databases. It provides a general framework that can be used to manipulate these databases with a simple graphical interface, but that can also be easily extended by the mean of a scripting language, to fit a wide range of needs.
