Make \py check for ._repr_latex_ #54
Description
Some objects I have encountered have a _repr_latex method, like the _repr_html_ method for IPython notebook display. (https://github.com/astropy/astropy/blob/master/astropy/units/quantity.py#L942)
A check to see if an object knows how to display itself under LaTeX would be pretty simple and have some very cool results. If you could point me to the section of code called by \py I might be able to take a shot at implementing this one.

Everything from
\pyis formatted bypytex.formatter(). By default, this isstr()under Python 3 andunicode()under Python 2. All you would need to get this working is a functionrepr_latex_else_str(), and thenpytex.formatter=repr_latex_else_strwithin the session before you use\py. If you want to write the function and post it here, I can think about the best way to add it into the package, either as a default or at least an option.Cadair commentedon Feb 5, 2015
Where is the default
pytex.formattercode located?gpoore commentedon Feb 5, 2015
It's in
pythontex_utils.py. There is aset_formatter()method called by the utils class__init__()that createsformatter(). Theset_formatter()is mostly there to deal with the context-sensitivesympy_latex()method. There may be a better, more Pythonic way to do all this, though; that's very "old" code from very early in the project. It might be best to haveformatterstart off asrepr_latex_else_str(), and then let it be changed by assignment (deprecateset_formatter).
