At the moment, TeX is called in the directory from where python is
called. This is to make inclusion of self-provided input files more
intuitive -- TeX behaves then as expected by the user. The resulting
dvi file is then used to construct an EPS, PDF or PS.
Because the dvi file is completely analyzed, the location of the
outcome has nothing to do with the location where TeX is run.
This does not yet explain why the resulting PDF is empty. Does it work
with EPS?
Can you try to reduce the behaviour with the example file "hello.py"
or something similar and increase the errordebug of TeX etc...?
