[web2py] Re: WindowsError 2 and markmin2pdf
It requires latex. Do you have pdflatex installed on windows? How do
you run it from shell?

[web2py] Re: WindowsError 2 and markmin2pdf
You have to do it in two steps.
- step one you call markmin2latex and save the output in a file
(sample.tex)
- step two:
from gluon.contrib.markmin.markmin2pdf import latex2pdf
latex = open('sample.tex','rb')
latex2pdf(latex, pdflatex='pdflatex', passes=3)
and replace the ;pdflatex' with the command to run your pdflatex
instance. I do not know what that is.

No. During the last hours I have tried to get a (small?) pdflatex package,
but I have only found complete Latex packages (1GB and so on). Today I am
at Crete/Greece and the data connection is very poor. Maybe I can install
Portable Latex (download time about 4 hours...)

I have copyied the markmin2xxx.py files to C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages and
opened the IDE of Python 2.7. All the lines of my first email are responses
of the IDE.
