Python Pweave to LaTeX

Question

I am trying to get Pweave to generate a LaTeX file in a form other than verbatim so that I can add a few features to the doc (logo, footnotes etc...).
So far as much as I love Pweave for the ease of use and convenience, I have been unable to do so.

Python 3.5.2 (v3.5.2:4def2a2901a5, Jun 26 2016, 10:47:25) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin pweave.version is '0.25'

Anyone would have a lead please?

Example of code (all in Python Pweave, for illustration purpose):

#' let's print
[print (i) for i in range(10)]

#' let's plot
#' we import the modules
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

#' we set the var x and y
x = np.arange(1,10,1)
y = x**2

#' we plot!
plt.plot(x,y, color= 'red')
plt.show()

Thanks!

I created to examples source files from your code base: one is a verbatim based output and the other is using the Minted package for syntax highlighting, so that you see the difference. The only difference lies only in the addition of \usepackage{minted} among the other packages in the source code.

Using verbatim: test_pweave_verbatim.texw

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt,final]{article}
\usepackage{fancyvrb, color, graphicx, hyperref, amsmath, url}
\usepackage{palatino}
\usepackage[a4paper,text={16.5cm,25.2cm},centering]{geometry}

\hypersetup
{   pdfauthor = {Name Surname},
  pdftitle={Simple test with Python and Matplotlib},
  colorlinks=TRUE,
  linkcolor=black,
  citecolor=blue,
  urlcolor=blue
}

\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
\setlength{\parskip}{1.2ex}



\title{Simple test with Python and Matplotlib}
\author{Name Surname}
\date{12nd December 2016}

\begin{document}
\maketitle

\section{Introduction}

Just a simple example!


Plot stuff.

<<caption="Test!">>=
#' let's print

#' let's plot
#' we import the modules
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
#' we set the var x and y
x = np.arange(1,10,1)
y = x**2

#' we plot!
plt.plot(x,y, color= 'red')
plt.show()

\section{End}

A simple end.

Now, use the following commands to generate the pdf files:

1. Verbatim

   • pweave -f tex test_pweave_verbatim.texw
   • pdflatex test_pweave_verbatim.tex

2. Minted

   • pweave -f texminted test_pweave_minted.texw
   • pdflatex -shell-escape test_pweave_minted.tex

Tested in OSX 10.11.4 using Python 2.7.10 and Pweave 0.25.
