I have a function I am consuming that returns a string of latex code. I need to generate an image from this. Most of the methods I have seen for doing so suggest calling an external application via say the subprocess module which will generate the image for me.
However, management is not keen on this as it will require external users to install additional software in addition to our own which, with our user base, is not something we can assume to be a simple task.
So are there any python libraries that will accomplish the task of taking latex into a format (such as an image file) which is displayable in a GUI?
If it is just math equations that you need, you will probably have better luck finding a mathml renderer in python. This page might provide some clues, including some latex-mathml translators.
