latex2sympy2
Convert latex to sympy with ANTLR and support Matrix, Linear Algebra and CAS functions.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need LaTeX-to-SymPy conversion and can tolerate dormant maintenance. The package is stable, has no known vulnerabilities, and handles a comprehensive set of mathematical operations. However, be aware that the last release was in 2023 and there have been no recent commits, so bug fixes or updates for newer Python versions are unlikely. It is suitable for established use cases but not for projects requiring active upstream support.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Low install friction with only two runtime dependencies (sympy and antlr4-python3-runtime).
- However, the package is dormant—last release was 2023-04-23 and no commits since 2024-08-05, so maintenance support is limited.

What it is and what it does
latex2sympy2 is a LaTeX-to-SymPy converter that parses mathematical expressions written in LaTeX notation and translates them into SymPy's symbolic representation. It uses ANTLR to generate its parser and handles a broad range of mathematical constructs: basic arithmetic and functions, calculus operations (derivatives, integrals, limits), linear algebra (matrices, determinants, transposes, row/column operations), and special functions like trigonometric and logarithmic operations.
The package is designed for developers and educators who work with mathematical notation in LaTeX or Markdown and need to convert those expressions into executable symbolic math. It can both parse expressions into SymPy objects and convert them back to LaTeX form after calculation. The package maintains a variable store for tracking assigned values and supports complex number operations, making it useful for interactive math environments, VS Code extensions, and educational tools.
Use it for
- Convert LaTeX derivatives and integrals to SymPy for symbolic computation and simplification.
- Parse matrix notation and perform elementary row/column transformations programmatically.
- Build interactive math calculators or educational tools that accept LaTeX input from users.
- Evaluate mathematical expressions written in LaTeX notation with variable substitution.
- Generate simplified LaTeX output after SymPy performs algebraic operations on parsed expressions.
