Python script to parse/convert latex string into utf-8?

Question

I result being retrieved from the db, on this form:

(86, 'B{\\u{a}}beanu', 'Alexandru-Ionut') 
(101, "Dosil Su{\\'a}rez", 'Alvaro') 
(119, 'Massafferri', "Andr{\\'e}") 
(161, 'M{\\"u}ller', 'Anke-Susanne')

I'd like to decode this characters from latex to unicode, e.g. utf8 (it will be shown on a webpage). But I can't install modules on the server, e.g. latexCodec.

I coudn`t find scripts that worked for me on web, not even this on stackoverflow. Are there any script for work this out?

Thanks you in advance.

Depending on how your server is set up, you might be able to install a user copy of latexcodec - for example, by using pip install --user or by extracting the tarball into the appropriate pythonx.y folder in ~/.local/lib. If even that isn't an option, you can in the worst case still keep a static copy of it in your project directory. None of these methods will be handled by your , but that doesn't seem likely to be a big problem here - the latexcodec git respository hasn't received any update in nearly a year.

Note that using latexcodec will parse the latex into unicode, not utf-8 encoded bytes - but this is almost certainly what you actually want, and if it really isn't, you can re-encode to utf8 from there.
