scholarly is a module that allows you to retrieve author and publication information from Google Scholar in a friendly, Pythonic way.

This is version 1.4 of the scholarly library. There has been a major refactor in the way the library operates and it's code structure and it will break most existing code, based on the previous (v0.x) versions.
