pyptex 0.1.4

Python Preprocessor for (La)TeX

PypTeX: the Python Preprocessor for TeX

Author: Sébastien Loisel

PypTeX is the Python Preprocessor for LaTeX. It allows one to embed Python code fragments in a LaTeX template file.

Installation

pip install pyptex

1. You will also need a LaTeX installation, and the default LaTeX processor is pdflatex.
2. You need a Python 3 installation.

Hello, world

Put the following in example.tex:

\documentclass{article}
@{from sympy import *}
\begin{document}
$$\int x^3\,dx = @{S('integrate(x^3,x)')}+C$$
\end{document}

The command pyptex example.tex will generate example.pdf and an intermediary pure-LaTeX file example.pyptex. The resulting PDF can be found here

• The pyptex executable tries to locate the Python 3 executable using /usr/bin/env python3. This is because python refers to Python 2 on Macs and PypTeX is incompatible with Python 2. If your system doesn't have a python3 executable, try something like: python `which pyptex` example.tex

Slightly bigger examples

• Matrix inverse exercise tex | pdf
• The F19NB handout for numerical linear algebra at Heriot-Watt university is generated with PypTeX. pdf
