You have to do it in two steps.
- step one you call markmin2latex and save the output in a file
(sample.tex)
- step two:
from gluon.contrib.markmin.markmin2pdf import latex2pdf
latex = open('sample.tex','rb')
latex2pdf(latex, pdflatex='pdflatex', passes=3)
and replace the ;pdflatex' with the command to run your pdflatex
instance. I do not know what that is.
