Pybtex reads citation information from a LaTeX .aux file and produces a
formatted bibliography. Pybtex understands BibTeX .bib and .bst style files and
can be used as a drop\-in replacement for BibTeX.

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

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