import pybtex.plugin

style = pybtex.plugin.find_plugin('pybtex.style.formatting', 'plain')()
backend = pybtex.plugin.find_plugin('pybtex.backends', 'docutils')()
parser = pybtex.database.input.bibtex.Parser()
data = parser.parse_stream(six.StringIO(u"""
@Book{1985:lindley,
  author =    {D. Lindley},
  title =     {Making Decisions},
  publisher = {Wiley},
  year =      {1985},
  edition =   {2nd},

for entry in style.format_entries(six.itervalues(data.entries)):
    print(backend.paragraph(entry))

would produce:

<paragraph>
  D. Lindley. <emphasis>Making Decisions</emphasis>.
