Presenting a Bibtex Bibliography on a Website

Imagine you are given a long Bibtex file, that needs to be presented on a website. In order to achieve some flexibility in presenting the data, a MySQL database is to be used. This rules out alternatives such as bibtex2html, which creates static html pages.

A Python script that can be used to parse the Bibtex file and write it into the database can be downloaded here. Pybtex is used to conveniently parse the Bibtex file. The database layout for the different publication types (article, inproceedings, incollection, etc.) is hardcoded into the script, but should be easily adaptable to your needs.
