pygacity

A Python package to enable high-throughput generation of problems suitable for exams and problem sets for thermodynamics courses

You may have learned how to use Python to solve thermodynamics problems, like equilibrium compositions for a reacting system, or phase compositions in vapor-liquid equilibrium. Pygacity takes this idea and uses Python to generate new problems. The problems are generated in such a way that they can be typeset into PDF's using LaTeX. Pygacity relies on the pythontex package in LaTeX to allow Python code to run during document compilation and results of those calculations automatically included in the document.

Installation

Pygacity can be installed from Pypi the usual way:

pip install pygacity

Pygacity is under active development. To install a bleeding edge version:

git clone git@github.com:cameronabrams/pygacity.git
cd pygacity
pip install -e .

Pygacity includes the LaTeX class file autoprob.cls under [INSTALL-DIR]/pygacity/resources/autoprob-package/tex/latex/. All latex-like commands that are managed by pygacity append this directory in a --include-directory argument. If you would like to use autoprob.cls outside of pygacity, you will need to make your LaTeX installation aware of autoprob-package root.
