BiBTeX module?

I'm surprised Greg Ward hasn't jumped into this thread yet, but take a
look at his tech report on his BibTeX parser btOOL, particularly the
first 3 sections, which contain an interesting examination of BibTeX's
design.  Later sections dive into the Perl code and are less
interesting, but the C code for the parser could probably be wrapped
as a Python module without too much difficulty.

	btOOL's page is at http://starship.python.net/~gward/btOOL/ ;
the tech report is btOOL.ps.gz or btOOl.dvi.gz.

Brigadier, a straight line may be the shortest distance between two points,
but it is by no means the most interesting.
