## What it is
PyLaTeX is a Python library for creating and compiling LaTeX files or snippets. It provides an easy but extensible interface between Python and LaTeX.

## Use cases
- generate pdf reports from python
- create latex documents programmatically
- build latex tables from data
- compile latex files from a python script
- generate academic papers with python

## When to choose
- you need to produce LaTeX documents or PDFs from Python code
- you want a programmatic, extensible API instead of string-templating LaTeX by hand

## When to avoid
- you only need to parse existing LaTeX files
- you want a pure-Python PDF generator without a LaTeX toolchain installed

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: templating, pdf, documentation
- domain: developer-tools, documentation, pdf
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: latex, pdf-generation, document-generation
