marc2bib 0.1.4

Installation

As always, use pip to install the latest release from PyPI:

$ pip install marc2bib

Or for development:

$ git clone https://github.com/mstolyarchuk/marc2bib
$ pip install -e marc2bib

Quickstart

If you have not used pymarc before, nothing to worry about.

Now we are going to read some data from a MARC file and easily convert it to a BibTeX entry:

>>> from pymarc import MARCReader
>>> from marc2bib import convert

# Open a MARC file as you usually do this with pymarc.
>>> with open('file.mrc', 'rb') as f:
...     reader = MARCReader(f)
...     record = next(reader)  # Read the first record
...     print(convert(record)) # and, ta-da, convert it to a BibTeX entry.
...
@book{Hargittai2009,
 author = {I. Hargittai, M. Hargittai},
 . . .
}

And that is it!
