Visit the pyparsing wiki for all sorts of applications. Here is a BibTeX parser submitted by pyparsing wiki user ero-sennin: http://pyparsing.wikispaces.com/WhosUsingPyparsing#pybtex I don't know what the license is. Can't help you on the rumor front though. I should hope I'd hear about this sooner or later. I'm more than willing for this to happen, but I fear that the API includes some features that are novel to Python, perhaps even bordering on UnPythonic, and so may skewer any plans for stdlib inclusion. -- Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
