[SciPy-user] Curve fitting and LaTeX output

[Anand Patil]

You can also use rpy, http://rpy.sourceforge.net/, to get the R table as a
string straight from Python. Here's a very rough, non-working schematic of
how it would go:
from rpy import r
mystring = r.lm_fit(blablabla)
f = file('table.tex','w')
f.write(mystring)
