* bibrest
- Simple RESTful API to expose bibtex library
- Based on Python, using =flask= and =pybtex=
- Intended to be used as backend for websites rendering bibtex reference lists 

** Installation
Install flask and pybtex

#+begin_src bash
sudo pip install flask pybtex
#+end_src

Then, the development flask server can be started with

#+begin_src bash
python bibrest.py
#+end_src

It will serve the test.bib in the same folder.
