General ⇒ How to embed python in latex?

[luofeiyu]

For the article here http://www.texample.net/weblog/2008/oct ... hon-latex/.

Let’s start with a basic “hello world” example:

%& -shell-escape
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{python}
\begin{document}

Say hello Python:

\begin{python}%
print r"Hello \LaTeX!"
\end{python}%
\end{document}

Compiling the above code with shell escape enabled gives the following output:
Say Hello world!
Hello Latex


How to compile it?
vim test.latex

%& -shell-escape
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{python}
\begin{document}

Say hello Python:

\begin{python}%
print r"Hello \LaTeX!"
\end{python}%
\end{document}

Which shell command to compile the test.latex file?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Hi,

compile it by

pdflatex -shell-escape test.latex

By the way, the file name extension is usually .tex.

! LaTeX Error: Environment /usr/bin/python undefined.
How to fix then?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

That line is wrong:

\begin{/usr/bin/python}

It has to be:

\begin{python}

The same with \end.
