Include python variable values in a LaTeX document

python-latex-bridge

Python package to include python variables in a LaTeX document.

Example

Some use cases given a file with

from bridge import save
from uncertainties import ufloat
from pint import UnitRegistry
ureg = UnitRegistry()
Q = ureg.Quantity

• Any python value:

  x = 1024
  save(x) # creates `variables/variable.dat` containing "1024"
  

• Uncertain value:

  x = ufloat(3.1, 0.2)
  save(x, name='height') # creates `variables/height.dat` containing "3.10 \pm 0.20"
  

• Variable with unit

  x = Q(42, 'mm')
  save(x, path='values') # creates `values/variable.dat` containing "42\,\si[]{\milli\meter}"
  

• Error and unit:

  x = Q(ufloat(420, 7), 'ohm')
  save(x) # creates `variables/variable.dat` containing "(420 \pm 7)\,\si[]{\ohm}"
  

Usage in LaTeX

To fetch the value in a LaTeX document, simply include the .dat file in math mode

$\include{variables/variable.dat}$

assuming the .tex file and the variables/ folder share the same parent directory.
