ANN: Pyzotero 1.7.0 with pyzotero CLI

[Stephan Hügel]

The latest version of Pyzotero (now available on PyPI) includes an optional cli entrypoint that provides the 'pyzotero' command. Install it using [your preferred installation tool invocation] "pyzotero[cli]", which can encompass pip or uv (possibly others, not tested). The entrypoint also enables installation using uv tool and one-off use using pipx / uvx.

The cli currently offers only a small subset of the full Pyzotero library functionality, and is an in-progress experiment; the interface will grow over time, but it isn't intended to provide 1:1 library functionality. Docs are here: https://pyzotero.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#cli-usage. Note in particular the ability to return results in human-readable or JSON format.

As ever, feedback is welcome.

Forgot to add: the cli currently only works with your local library, via the provided Zotero desktop port. Again, this is subject to change, but the cli isn't currently intended to provide write methods (you have the library for that!)
