https://pypi.org/project/pdflatex/ or https://pypi.org/project/tex/ could help you as well — Yanirmr, Mar 03 '21 at 20:22

Try this please.

import os  
os.system("pdflatex mylatex.tex")

in addition, you can use os.system("mv mylatex.pdf path/to/directory") to move the pdf to any specific location

Alternatively, and more "clean" solution is without os.system() that runs the shell here. You can use subprocess.check_call(['pdflatex', 'mylatex.tex']) instead. To save the result in a specific location: pass the appropriate command-line argument to pdflatex or use shutil.move().
