Hi Tim,

There's a project out there called 'pybliographer' that might be useful
for you:

It looks like they canceled support for Endnote, though I haven't dug
deeply enough to find out why yet.


At an initial glance, it looks like regular expressions would be useful to
parse the records.  Has anyone replied back to you about using regular
expressions on your problem yet?
