I understood, you have Python on a platform and starting
from this you wish to create pdf files.
Obviously, embedding "TeX" is practically a no solution,
although distibuting a portable standalone TeX distribution
is a perfectly viable solution, especially on Windows!
To "I wanted to learn TeX anyway.":
I can only warmly recommend to start with one of the two
unicode compliant engines, LuaTeX or XeTeX.
All right. Which one is the better? :-) I'm totally a beginner. I would
also like to use mathematical expressions but I guess they are both
capable of that. Another requirement would be: easy installation under
unix and windows, good multilingual support.
