Looks pretty sketchy:
------------- amsmath:py --------------
from pyLaTeX.XML.lib.Mathematics import eqnarray
class align(eqnarray): pass
------------- amsmath:py --------------
Next one:
"""
pyLaTeX Parser
This module contains the real brains of pyLaTeX. The only class of
any real use is Parser. Given a string containing LaTeX markup and
a Python module containing classes corresponding to LaTeX macros, the
Parser class will tokenize the text into class instances, process the
LaTeX macro arguments, and build a well-formed document of nested
macros.
"""
Parsing .tex like this is impossible to get right. Macros do not have to
nest properly. Moreover, it uses fixed values for deliminiters, so this
can't work except for some class of "reasonably well-behaved LaTeX" - and
we have reLyX for this job already. At it seems to have the same broken
two-stage process full tokenization/full parsing that the math parser does
- which is not what TeX does.
So, no, I don't think this would help us in any way.
