Manual entry not working?

[drvinceknight]

Hi I'm just getting started with BMC. I get an error when pointing it at an old pdf for which I can't seem to find the DOI so hoping to use manual:

~$ python BMC/bmc.py import ~/Desktop/yadin_1965.pdf
DOI / arXiv / ISBN / manual / skip? manual
The bibtex entry found for /Users/vince/Desktop/yadin_1965.pdf is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "BMC/bmc.py", line 550, in <module>
    args.tag)
  File "BMC/bmc.py", line 188, in addFile
    bibtex = checkBibtex(src, bibtex_string)
  File "BMC/bmc.py", line 30, in checkBibtex
     bibtex = bibtex[list(bibtex.keys())[0]]
IndexError: list index out of range

Have I got the use case wrong for manual or is it not implemented yet?

Should be ok by now.

Sorry no this is still not working for me.

BMC (master>)$ python bmc.py import ~/Desktop/yadin_1965.pdf

About to send you a pull request with my fix (almost similar to yours except I seem to be having problems reading from tmp files).

Ok, you found a problem with tempfiles in Python3, compared to Python2. I was not aware of this…

I just tried with Python2, and everything works fine AFAIK. I'll have a look ASAP to solve it definitely.

Ok, the problem was different I think. It was an update in the bibtexparser module which resulted in a failure to parse provided bibtex entries.

I tested it and it should all be ok by now. I tagged a new version for this fix. Please, let me know and reopen the issue if you still experience some issues.
