How to to compile .tex file?

[catauggie]

Try to launch basic simple example from Jupyter Notebook:

from pylatex import Document, Section, Subsection, Command
from pylatex.utils import italic, NoEscape
import pdflatex
  
doc = Document('test_limit')
doc.append('a dog')
doc.generate_pdf()
but get an error:

Usage

latexmk [options] [filename]

latexmk: error: no such option: --pdf
CalledProcessError: Command '['latexmk', '--pdf', '--interaction=nonstopmode', 'C:\Users\ivan\test_limit.tex']' returned non-zero exit status 2.

how could it be solved?

Hello! A bit delayed, but I just tested the following and it appears to work. Hope this helps!

Steps taken

1. From command line

$ cd <directory-path>
$ python3 -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install pylatex
$ pip install pdflatex
$ nano test.py

2. Python script for test.py

from pylatex import Document, Section, Subsection, Command
from pylatex.utils import italic, NoEscape
from pdflatex import PDFLaTeX 
  
doc = Document('test_limit')
doc.append('a dog')
doc.generate_pdf('my-pdf')

3. Write out and exit nano
4. From command line

$ python3 test.py

It should write out the following .pdf to <directory-path>

my-pdf.pdf
