latex

Documentation can be found at https://pythonhosted.org/latex .

Allows calling LaTeX from Python without leaving a mess. Similar to the (officially obsolete) tex package, whose successor is not PyPi-installable:

min_latex = (r"\documentclass{article}"
             r"\begin{document}"
             r"Hello, world!"
             r"\end{document}")

from latex import build_pdf

# this builds a pdf-file inside a temporary directory
pdf = build_pdf(min_latex)

# look at the first few bytes of the header
print bytes(pdf)[:10]

Also comes with support for using Jinja2 templates to generate LaTeX files.

make_env can be used to create an Environment that plays well with LaTex:

Variables can be used in a LaTeX friendly way: Hello, \VAR{name|e}.

Note that autoescaping is off. Blocks are creating using the block macro:

\BLOCK{if weather is 'good'}
Hooray.
\BLOCK{endif}

\#{comments are supported as well}
%# and so are line comments

To keep things short, line statements can be used:

%- if weather is good
Yay.
%- endif

Example use

from jinja2.loaders import FileSystemLoader
from latex.jinja2 import make_env

env = make_env(loader=FileSystemLoader('.'))
tpl = env.get_template('doc.latex')

print(tpl.render(name="Alice"))

The base.latex demonstrates how \BLOCK{...} is substituted for {% ... %}:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\BLOCK{block body}\BLOCK{endblock}
\end{document}

Finally, doc.latex shows why the %- syntax is usually preferable:

%- extends "base.latex"

%- block body
Hello, \VAR{name|e}.
%- endblock
