stattotex-python

A simple function for automatically updating LaTeX documents with numbers or strings from Python. No more manually copying your calculations over every time your code is re-run!

Inspired by the Stata package isapollnik/stattotex.

Installation

pip install stattotex

Usage

For examples, see the "demo.py" and "Demo Report.tex" and the overall demo folder. A summary is below:

In Python, import the function with

from stattotex.stattotex import stattotex

and use it with

stattotex(variable_name, variable_value, filename, clear_file)

where variable_name is a name you want to assign to the variable in LaTeX (note that you may not include underscores), variable_value is a number or string, filename is a file path string to save the variable to, and clear_file is an optional True/False flag to delete a pre-existing file.

Then, in your LaTeX document, put

\input{<your filename>}

in the preamble and add your variable with

\<your variable_name>

You may find it helpful to insert \space afterwards (\<your variable_name> \space) to correct the spacing.
