python - latexmk: error: no such option: -d

Question

I am getting an error when I want to run a python script:

The error is following one:

The code is given below:

#!/usr/bin/python
import subprocess
code_dir = "code"
title = "Stanford ACM-ICPC Team Notebook"

def get_sections():
    sections = []
    section_name = None
    with open('contents.txt', 'r') as f:
        for line in f:
            if '#' in line: line = line[:line.find('#')]
            line = line.strip()
            if len(line) == 0: continue
            if line[0] == '[':
                section_name = line[1:-1]
                subsections = []
                if section_name is not None:
                    sections.append((section_name, subsections))
            else:
                tmp = line.split('\t', 1)
                if len(tmp) == 1:
                    raise ValueError('Subsection parse error: %s' % line)
                filename = tmp[0]
                subsection_name = tmp[1]
                if subsection_name is None:
                    raise ValueError('Subsection given without section')
                subsections.append((filename, subsection_name))
    return sections

def get_style(filename):
    ext = filename.lower().split('.')[-1]
    if ext in ['c', 'cc', 'cpp']:
        return 'cpp'
    elif ext in ['java']:
        return 'java'
    elif ext in ['py']:
        return 'py'
    else:
        return 'txt'

# TODO: check if this is everything we need
def texify(s):
    #s = s.replace('\'', '\\\'')
    #s = s.replace('\"', '\\\"')
    return s

            tex += '\\hrulefill\n'
        tex += '\n'
    return tex

if __name__ == "__main__":
    sections = get_sections()
    tex = get_tex(sections)
    with open('contents.tex', 'w') as f:
        f.write(tex)
    latexmk_options = ["latexmk", "-pdf", "notebook.tex"]
    subprocess.call(latexmk_options)

I have already tried to install latexmk, But didn't succeed. Can you help me about the detailed instruction of installation latexmk. I have already googled much. And for copyright thats not even my code. Its a code from stanford acm to make their own. Now I want to use to make my own.

Answer 1

Make sure that latexmk is accessible from your command line. You can check this by typing latexmk -version from your command line. If it is not accessible from command line then you need to add the latexmk path to environment variable.

If latexmk is not installed follow this link to properly install the latexmk.

I think following these steps might fix your problem.
