works in sierra?

[fxt44]

does adsbibdesk.py work for you in sierra 10.12.1?
if yes, then its just me. if no, any suggestions?

I found that adsbibdesk does not work anymore on my 10.10 OSX since a few days.
Looking for ArXiv papers is ok, but no access to ADS.

i resolved mine. it appeared to be a combination of either rebooting and/or ads being down for a few days. maybe the latter since you also mention the last few days.

Seems the bibtex information starts again, but no PDF download.

[fxt44]

maybe check or reset your ~/.adsbibdesk .

i prefer to handle the pdf files by-hand myself (i'm adamant about no arxiv stuff in my bibdesk master library) so i run with download_pdf=False . however, as a singular test, i ran with download_pdf=True on a recent mnras article and the appropriate arxiv pdf was inserted into bibdesk.

if you post the doi or ads string of the specific article you are trying, i'll give a whirl to see if it works for me.

i've found it can be useful to insert various logging.info statements into adsbibdesk.py and invoking the local modified copy ./adsbibdesk.py directly to get a better sense of what its doing under various circumstances.

I installed on sierra 10.12.5 and kept getting the following error message. Any idea where the problem is? Thanks

my 10.12.5 adsbibdesk is at /usr/local/bin/adsbibdesk and uses /usr/bin/python.

appears you have adsbibdesk within a macports framework. maybe try the above.

good luck!
