    culd - citeulikedownloader

    Three recent evenings spent with Python resulted in a tool to get a local copy of your CiteULike library in JabRef: culd, the CiteULikeDownloader.

    After entering your username and password it will download your BibTeX file as well as all stored .pdf’s to the current directory (you better choose an empty one). The .pdf’s will be named in a human-readable way so you can identify properly. Furthermore filenames are stored in the corresponding entries in the BibTeX file to be accessible from JabRef. The resulting BibTeX file will be named “[youloginname]-culd.bib”.

    ‘culd’ requires the Python packages urllib, urllib2, cookielib and pybtex (you may need to install them by hand) and comes without any warranty.

    You can find the (highly experimental) code here

    Edit: I’ve set up a google code project here. I may change the dependency on pybtex to bibscripter which can be integrated into my code.

    UI Design is the art of understanding the user’s goals along with the craft removing the non-essential thus allowing them to achieve their goal as succinctly as possible. An ideal interaction is not when we’re happy with what we’ve creatively added but when we have nothing left to remove from their path.
