通过python编译Latex文档

Question

I have been struggling with compiling latex document and creating pdf.

I have successfully created .tex file by python. I want to make it even more automated by compiling .tex in python.

The code I have tried is:

import os 
os.system("filename.tex")

I put this codes at the end of my python code.

But it only opens the software Texmaker, not compiling it to pdf.

If you could give me any hint I will be so grateful!!

You need to actually run some kind of command that makes the pdf. In my case I might use pdflatex , although you should know that compiling LaTeX isn't always as easy as running latex once.

import subprocess

with open("filename.tex", "w") as tex_file:
    tex_file.write(r"""
\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}
Hello World
\end{document}
""")

subprocess.call(["pdflatex", "filename.tex"])
