The command does not get defined.\n\n``` latex\n\\documentclass{article}\n\\usepackage{python}\n\n\\begin{document}\n\n\\begin{python}\nprint r'\\newcommand{\\pya}{hi}'\n\\end{python}\n\n\\pya\n\n\\end{document}\n```\n\nI expected LaTex to run all the output from python. What are the limitations?\n\nI was trying to get some variable values out of python code block results that I can use later in my latex file.\nThis allows re-using values and allows clearer latex code compared to having python creating latex code.\n\nThank you!\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/jalonsomartinez","@type":"Person","name":"jalonsomartinez"},"datePublished":"2014-05-30T11:58:14.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/3/python-sty/issues/3"}
