What is the easiest way to convert a string of Latex (e.g. "Consider the polynomial $x^2$") into a pdf within a Python web app? Ideally, this wouldn't require the creation of intermediate files that I would have to store in a database.
I tried downloading Texcaller (http://vog.github.io/texcaller/) but I could not get it to work. In particular, the key file python/texcaller.py has the line "import _texcaller" which gives the error "No module named _texcaller."
I'm thinking that there must be some way to do it because the Texer resource at AoPS (http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/Resources/texer.php) renders Tex as PDF almost instantaneously.
Thank you very much in advance!
I've recently written a library for the purpose of generating LaTeX code using python. It supports tables, plots, matrices and more. https://github.com/JelteF/PyLaTeX
