Pybliographer

Hi,

Let me know supporting encode other than latin-1.  My examination in
Japanese environment resulted that pybliographer as CUI could display
Japanese, but pybliographic as GUI could neither display nor input
Japanese with error message "non-latin1".

Article concerning Japanese was found in the archive of this ml.  It
dated 2000-07-18.

|> One more question: Are double bite characters supported? For example Japanese?
| 
| Nope, not for the moment. Currently, the internal strings are expected
| to be in latin-1 encoding. Nevertheless, support for unicode is coming
| up, both in Python and in Gtk (the graphical widget). So there is
| hope ! But you"ll have to wait for these two prerequisite.

What is the present situation?

Hellow,

When I try to compile the pybliographer, a message arrise (I don=B4t
remember exactly):

checking python dependeces:
... no module python ui encountered

I tried to find in net, but I don=B4t found information about this. Is
ui a python module??? Where do I find it???
My system is a Slackware 10.0, python 2.3....=20

Thanks,

Hi all,

A humble wishlist for pybliographer:

- Option to automatically open a default database

- "Mark" the refs on a pubmed query already present in the default
database

- Explicit local searches: write the search in the lower bar like:

------------------------------------------------------
New database [1/6 entries]
------------------------------------------------------

to:

------------------------------------------------------
New database [1/6 entries] - Search: any ~ "mysearch"
------------------------------------------------------

- ESC to go back to "Full database" state in local queries.

Optionally, do it in steps: at each ESC type, go back to previous step
from the different steps taken in the local finds.

- Option to automatically merge with drag-and-drop:

add an icon/holder for the last "previous documents->" file after "cite"
icon.

After a query, drag and drop the chosen reference/references to the
"last file" icon.

Thanks for your patience,

Cheers,

    Albert.

PD: Maybe some of these features can be done in some other way. I
apologize if I haven't found how yet... And not sure if these features
are HIG-compliant.

Pybliographer version 1.2.6 has been released (2005-01-29).

This is essentially a bug-fix release.

Summary of changes:=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20

       * Fixed parsing of .aux files in pybcompact script (Peter)
       * Miscellaneous fixes in the Ovid import, closes=20
         bugs # 1081186,  1078811, 1043582 (Peter)
       * All the popups can be closed with escape (Fr=E9d=E9ric)
       * Parentheses are now allowed in BibTeX keys, closes=20
         bug # #600394  (Fr=E9d=E9ric)
       * Fixed crossref handling in pybcompact script (Fr=E9d=E9ric)
       * Restored Search as you type (Fr=E9d=E9ric)
       * German translation update (Frank Arnold)
       * Sort code reworked (partially, Peter)
       * Iterator code reworked for __iter__ compatibility
         (partially, Peter)=20=20
       * Added a check for an (approximately ?) valid bibtex field=20
         name to GnomeUI.Editor, closes bug 744086 (Peter).
       * Updated translations from CVS (Fr=E9d=E9ric)
       * Added PYBLIOGRAPHER_DATABASE environment variable to
         specify a default database for pybliographic (Peter)


New, undocumented feature:
-------------------------

It is now possible to set the PYBLIOGRAPHER_DATABASE
environment variable to an admissible bibliography file in
order to  open it always on startup, if no files are
specified on the command line.=20

Example:
-------
        $ export PYBLIOGRAPHER_DATABASE=3Dmy/database.bib

        $ pybliographic &

is thus essentially equivalent to

        $ pybliographic my/database.bib &

Strange, searching "mea recording" returns 17 results for me in
pybliographer. Do you search PubMed in Firefox through a proxy?

hi *

i'm using pybliographer on a debian/linux all seems to be ok but:

today i was searching: "mea recording" and pybliographer returned me 0 
results ... as i was not so sure i open firefox 
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/
and type again "mea recording" and i obtain a lot of results.

I don't understand where the problem is, if i put other things like 
"neurons" 0 results but "cellular migration" gives me 10 results

i can't really understand

thanks
paolo

Hi,

firstly, my congratulations to the authors of this very useful software.
It is an important project that deserves going ahead very strongly.

This time I have a possible bug to list.

Briefly:
using the Ovid parser in PyBib 1.2.5, importing from a file (attached):

....
Authors
  De Marco MF.  Lorenzoni L.  Addari P.  Nante N.

the result is:

Author: De, Marco; Lorenzoni, L.; Addari, P.; Nante, N.

This situation is very typical of italian family names but occurs in many=

other searches, significantly affecting merges.

Thanks in advance,
Cheers
Fab

I observed the following behaviour with 1.2.6 RC:

  The submenu of the File menu containing the recently
  opened files *disappears* sometimes, particularly after
  selecting from the Settings menu.  This seems however to
  occur only once, thereafter the selection does not seem to
  further affect the submenu.  The submenu reappears after
  opening a file via the Open menu/toolbar/keyboard action.

I have no idea what could result in such a behaviour and
would like to know whether it happens elsewhere a well.

Peter

Dear all,

For a whole pile of idiotic reasons, I have upgraded my version of 
ubuntu to the beta (hoary hedgehog) version. ( This means that I'm 
running gnome 2.9.x and basically using sid.) I can't install 
pybliographer from the debian packages as can't find python-bibtex 
(broken package). Python-bibtex won't compile as I have python 2.4 not 
2.3: (I have the debian version of recode installed).

I think it is worth noting that when upgraded to 2.9 pybliographic was 
uninstalled as part of the process: it worked with 2.8 perfectly.

Any ideas? I'm not scared to compile by hand.

Well... after some more reading and help from Ptr on irc (thanks again) 
the problem is fixed by editing the pybcompact.py file in 
/usr/share/pybliographer:

in the 'old' version it says:

  # we match a new citation
  match = citation_re.search (line)
  if match:
      citations.append (match.group (1))
      continue


the new version that can handle multiple citations:

<Ptr_> well, in scripts/pybcompact.py it should read:
<Ptr_>         # we match a new citation
<Ptr_>         match = citation_re.search (line)
<Ptr_>         if match:
<Ptr_>             # sometimes there are muptiple keys here
<Ptr_>             citation_key = match.group (1).split(',')
<Ptr_>             citations.extend (citation_key)
<Ptr_>             continue

Just wanted to end this thread by a solution and not by a problem. :)

Hello,

I'm using Pybliographic inside KDE. In the editor window, I would like to be 
able to jump from one field to the other by pressing a key. In KDE, Ctrl-Tab 
is already used to jump from one virtual desktop to another.
Is it possible to configure Pybliographic to use Tab to jump to the next field 
and Shift-Tab to come back one field.

I've looked editor.py but did not really understand where the shortcuts are 
defined.

Cheers and thanks for the program,
Charles
