pyLaTeX is a <a href="http://www.tug.org/">LaTeX</a>
document processing framework written entirely in
<a title="Go to the Python web site" href="http://www.python.org/">Python</a>.
It comes bundled with <a href="http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/">HTML</a> and
generic <a href="http://www.w3.org/XML/">XML</a> renderers, and
other renderers can be added as well.
</p>
<p>
pyLaTeX differs from other tools like
<a href="http://saftsack.fs.uni-bayreuth.de/~latex2ht/"
title="Go to the the LaTeX2HTML web site">LaTeX2HTML</a>,
<a href="http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/TeX4ht/mn.html"
title="Go to the TeX4ht web site">TeX4ht</a>,
<a href="http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/"
title="Go to the TtH web site">TtH</a>, etc.
in that the parsing and rendering of the document are completely
separated. This separation makes it possible to render the document
in multiple output formats. It also allows the parser to create
a cleaner document object, so that the rendering process is easier.
</p>
<p>
Since the renderer has complete control over which pieces of the
document are rendered, it is possible that the resultant document
is structured quite differently than the input document. This object
actually allows you to traverse and edit the document tree.
Because of this, pyLaTeX handles all counters natively so it doesn't
have to rely on a LaTeX auxilliary file which may be inaccurate.
</p>

command line interface, and HTML renderer can be viewed by following
