Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : pubs Version : 0.7.0 Upstream Author : Fabien Benureau, Olivier Mangin * URL : https://github.com/pubs/pubs * License : LGPL-3.0 Programming Lang: Python Description : command line bibliography management tool
Pubs organizes your bibliographic documents together with the bibliographic data associated to them and provides command line access to basic and advanced manipulation of your library. Pubs is built with the following principles in mind: * all papers are referenced using unique citation keys, * bibliographic data (i.e. pure bibtex information) is kept separated from metadata (including links to pdf or tags), * everything is stored in plain text so it can be manually edited or version controlled. Pubs can also import/export to/from bibtex and supports fetching metdata from ISBN or DOI numbers. -- I tested this from pip and it looks really nice. Might be a viable alternative to the problems with packaging Zotero, although it is much less intuitive for non-commandline users... Its requirements: * beautifulsoup4 * bibtexparser * configobj * date-utils * pyyaml * requests * future * pyparsing * six * urllib3 * idna * chardet * certifi All of those seem available in Debian with reasonable versions, so no extra work required there. I do not plan on maintaining this just yet, just a heads up that this package exists and might be interesting to fellow journalists/academics. I'd be happy to help with sponsorship and this might better live in the python apps team.
