Convert BibTex file to database entries using Python

Question

Given a bibTex file, I need to add the respective fields(author, title, journal etc.) to a table in a MySQL database (with a custom schema).

After doing some initial re

Answer 1

My workaround is to use bibtexparser to export relevant fields to a csv file;

import bibtexparser
import pandas as pd

with open("../../bib/small.bib") as bibtex_file:
    bib_database = bibtexparser.load(bibtex_file)
    
df = pd.DataFrame(bib_database.entries)
selection = df[['doi', 'number']]
selection.to_csv('temp.csv', index=False)

And then write the csv to a table in the database, and delete the temp.csv.

This avoids some complication with pybtex I found.
