This is the SympyTeX package. It allows you to embed code, results of computations, and (sometimes!) plots from the Matplotlib software suite (http://www.sympy.org) into LaTeX documents.

USING THE PACKAGE

To use SympyTeX, you need the files

  sympytex.sty
  sympytex.py

If those haven't been extracted from the .dtx file, you'll need build the package (see below)

========================================================

BUILDING THE PACKAGE

To build the SympyTeX package you will need to install some extra LaTeX packages (makecmds.sty)

    aptitude install texlive-latex-extra

Then do:

  0. Run `latex sympytexpackage.ins'

If a PDF file of the documentation wasn't included with this distribution of SympyTeX, you will need to build the documentation yourself. To do that:

  1. Run `latex sympytexpackage.dtx'
  2. Run `python sympytexpackage.sympy'
  3. Run the indexing commands that the .ins file told you about.
  4. Run `latex sympytexpackage.dtx' again.

You can skip step 3 if you don't care about the index. You will need the pgf and tikz packages installed to typeset the figures.

The file example.tex has, as you likely guessed, a bunch of examples showing you how this package works.
