ISBN from DOI

[Phyks]

Hi,

In this lib, there is a doi(isbn) function. It would be useful to have the reverse function, that is isbn(doi).

Not sure if it can be done reliably and easily?

Thanks

Yes you can do it, it is something like:

def doi2isbn(doi):
    return "".join(c for c in doi[2:] if c in "0123456789xX")

Thanks! Any plan to include it in the API?

It can stay in the "wishlist" but I can't promise it will make it!

Ok, I will use your snippet in my code, and if it bumps into the official API in a future version, I will update my code to use it :)
