handcalcs is a Python library that renders Python calculation code as LaTeX in a hand-written style, showing symbolic formulas, numeric substitutions, and results. It works primarily in Jupyter notebooks via cell magic and decorators.

Use cases

  • render python calculations as latex in jupyter
  • show symbolic formula with numeric substitution for verification
  • create hand-written style engineering calculation notebooks
  • export jupyter calculations to pdf without code
  • document engineering calculations for review

When to choose

  • you do engineering or scientific calculations in Jupyter and want auditable, hand-checkable output
  • you want LaTeX rendering of formulas without writing LaTeX manually

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose symbolic math engine like SymPy
  • you are not working in Jupyter or LaTeX-oriented workflows
