  Description     : Python implementation of a CSL (Citation Style Language) citation processor

This is a Python citation processor [1] for the XML based Citation
Style Language (CSL) [2], which puts out formatted citations and bibliographies
from different bibliographical database formats, so far it supports
Json and BibTeX, according to citation styles written in CSL [3].

The latest upstream tarball appeared a couple of days ago, and there is active
development going on. The development status of citeproc-py is still "3-Alpha",
but it would like to package it already because this is very promising.

The binaries of Python modules would be python-citeproc and python3-citeproc.
