it's possible to make it into a PyPI package - e.g. switch from using make to using ninja to build the package (I even have a prototype, it works), then everything (assuming TeX installed, naturally) can be built using standard Python tools and packages. But I'd rather not do it in this release cycle. > > -1 on adding a Sage-specific installation procedure for TeX.
