Using latexify-py to Generate LaTeX Mathematical Formulas in Python

latexify-py is a Python library that automatically generates LaTeX mathematical formulas from Python functions, leveraging LaTeX's powerful typesetting capabilities for complex equations.

Installation pip install latexify-py After installation you can verify the version:

import math
import numpy as np  # optional
import latexify

latexify.__version__

The version output is '0.4.2'.

Basic usage example

Define a function that solves a quadratic equation and call it:

def solve(a, b, c):
    return (-b + math.sqrt(b**2 - 4*a*c)) / (2*a)

print(solve(1, 4, 3))
print(solve)

Output:

-1.0
<function solve at 0x1124f28e0>

Applying the @latexify.function decorator converts the function into a LaTeX expression:

@latexify.function
def solve(a, b, c):
    return (-b + math.sqrt(b**2 - 4*a*c)) / (2*a)

print(solve(1, 4, 3))
print(solve)

Output now includes the LaTeX formula:

-1.0
\mathrm{solve}(a, b, c) = \frac{-b + \sqrt{ b^{2} - 4 a c }}{2 a}

You can also use the @latexify.expression decorator for similar results, and the library supports many other examples, as shown in the accompanying screenshots.
