Now, I get:

`-->  python bibtools.py /home/fab/HOME/Dissertation/CFD/Projects/Building_airflow/Paper/Vergleich_RANS-LES/biballsed.bib
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bibtools.py", line 227, in ?
    bf = BibFile(sys.argv[1])
  File "bibtools.py", line 174, in __init__
    self.addfile(f)
  File "bibtools.py", line 189, in addfile
    b = Bibliography('@' + f, self.macros)
  File "bibtools.py", line 86, in __init__
    value = m.group(2) + mn.group(0)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'

I just took a deeper look in my bib file and removed two
entries, which had some problems with emacs/auctex' function 'validate bibtex
entries'; but it does not change the output.

Greetings!
Fabian
