LaTeXDatax 1.0

Export individual data from a Python script to a LaTeX document

LaTeXDatax.py

Import calculated values from a python script into a LaTeX document. This is a python interface for the datax LaTeX package [ctan].

Installation

One method that works, though it may not be the way in python, is downloading the repo, and running pip install . in the root directory of it.

Usage

In a python script:

from LaTeXDatax import datax
datax(
		filename = "data.tex",
		a = "Literal string",
		b = 3.141592,
		c = (3.141592,"\\meter"),
		d = (3.141592,"\\meter","%.2g"),
		e = (3.141592,"%.2g"),
     )

In the LaTeX document:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\usepackage{datax}
\begin{document}
	The length was measured as \(d=\datax{d}\).
\end{document}

Looking for contributors

I don't know python very well. This should be a working package, but it would probably be better in more comfortable hands. Specifically, I'm not sure how to distribute packages in the python ecosystem.
