pybtex [ options ] auxfile.aux

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.
