Turn Python Code into LaTeX Formulas Instantly with latexify_py

Editing complex mathematical formulas in Word is cumbersome and error‑prone.

A new open‑source project latexify_py on GitHub lets you generate LaTeX math formulas directly from Python code, offering a much smoother experience.

It runs on Python 3.6, uses only the standard math module and the latexify package, and relies on simple regular‑expression logic rather than heavyweight AI models.

Example usage (shown in the image) demonstrates how a short Python function is transformed into a LaTeX expression.

The tool also supports generating piecewise functions, as illustrated in the following screenshots.

Users report that latexify_py eliminates the need to manually type long formulas, reduces errors, and speeds up academic writing.
