Pybtex reads citation information from a LaTeX .aux file and produces a
formatted bibliography. Pybtex understands BibTeX .bib and .bst style files and

Besides BibTeX .bib files, BibTeXML and YAML bibliography files are
supported.

It is also possible to define bibliography formatting styles in Python.
