It provides a Python API to construct document structure (sections, tables, figures, math) and then compile the result to PDF or LaTeX source. The library has no Python runtime dependencies but requires an external LaTeX processor (such as texlive) to be installed separately on your system.\n\nIt is designed for developers, educators, and researchers who want to generate technical documents, reports, or scientific papers from Python code\u2014especially when document content is dynamic or generated from data. Common use cases include creating reports with embedded plots, generating exam papers, or building templated documents where content varies but structure stays the same.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to generate LaTeX or PDF documents from Python and are comfortable installing and maintaining a LaTeX processor on your system. The package is stable and permissively licensed, but maintenance is dormant (last release 2023-10-19); use it for established workflows rather than as a foundation for new, heavily customized projects. High install friction due to external LaTeX dependencies is the main trade-off."},"id":"pylatex","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pylatex","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pylatex.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pylatex/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-10-19","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"PyLaTeX","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A Python library for creating LaTeX files and snippets"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":665616,"position":5428,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.4.2"}
