Install
-------

``pytexit`` is on PyPi::

    pip install pytexit

	
Use
---

``pytexit`` features the ``py2tex``, ``for2tex`` ``for2py`` functions.

In a Terminal, use ``py2tex``::

    py2tex 'x = 2*sqrt(2*pi*k*T_e/m_e)*(DeltaE/(k*T_e))**2*a_0**2'

In a Python console, use ``py2tex``::

    from pytexit import py2tex
    py2tex('x = 2*sqrt(2*pi*k*T_e/m_e)*(DeltaE/(k*T_e))**2*a_0**2')

returns the corresponding LaTeX formula (to re-use in papers)::

    $$x=2\\sqrt{\\frac{2\\pi k T_e}{m_e}} \\left(\\frac{\\Delta E}{k T_e}\\right)^2 a_0^2$$
    
and (in ipython console only) prints the equation:
