Been doing some Latex lately, so I wrote this little script to list all the tex packages on my system
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# name: list-tex-packages.py
# author: Gribouillis https://python-forum.io
# inspired by: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/125058
# requirement: plumbum, more_itertools
# LICENSE: MIT
from more_itertools import unique_everseen
from pathlib import Path
from plumbum import cli, local
__version__ = '2020.07.21'
def kpsepath():
"""List of potential directories where to find tex modules
Usually contains the current directory '.'
"""
L = local["kpsepath"]('tex').strip().split(':')
L = [x.lstrip('!').rstrip('/') for x in L]
return L
def istyle_file(ipath=None):
"""Iterable of tex style files contained under one of the directories
Arguments:
ipath: iterable of directories where to find style files
The search recurses the directories
"""
def istyle_file():
for p in (ipath or kpsepath()):
if Path(p).is_dir():
r = local['find'](p, '-name', '*.sty').strip().split('\n')
yield from r
return unique_everseen(istyle_file())
def itex_package(ipath=None):
"""Sorted list of the tex packages installed under the directories
Arguments:
ipath: iterable of directories where to find packages
"""
def ipackage(ipath):
for f in istyle_file(ipath):
yield f.rsplit('/', 1)[-1].rsplit('.', 1)[0]
return sorted(unique_everseen(ipackage(ipath)))
class App(cli.Application):
"""Print a list of installed tex packages on this computer"""
VERSION = __version__
def main(self):
for x in itex_package():
print(x)
if __name__ == '__main__':
App().run()
