latexify-py: Generate LaTeX Formulas from Python Functions

latexify-py is a Python library that automatically converts Python functions into LaTeX mathematical expressions, making it easy to display complex equations.

Install the package:

pip install latexify-py

Check the installed version:

import latexify
latexify.__version__

Example usage: define a quadratic‑solver function and decorate it with @latexify.function . The ordinary call returns the numeric result, while the decorated function yields the LaTeX formula.

@latexify.function
def solve(a, b, c):
return (-b + math.sqrt(b**2 - 4*a*c)) / (2*a)
print(solve(1, 4, 3))  # -1.0
print(solve)  # \mathrm{solve}(a, b, c) = \frac{-b + \sqrt{b^{2} - 4 a c}}{2 a}
