Apologies if a similar question has been posted elsewhere. I'm trying to switch to Python for typesetting new projects but find the setup quite difficult. For this I've come across PyLatex, which looks promising I've followed the setup instructions via pip, installed LatexMK, and tried to execute the basic example file to test it. This failed, throwing the following error at me:
runfile('/Users/~/.spyder-py3/untitled0.py', wdir='/Users/~/.spyder-py3')
Latexmk: This is Latexmk, John Collins, 17 Jan. 2018, version: 4.55.
Rule 'pdflatex': File changes, etc:

Collected error summary (may duplicate other messages):

I'm using an Anaconda environment with Python 3.7 on Mac (OS 10.15.4). What I was hoping to achieve was to create a latex file and generate a pdf as I would normally with Latex.
Thanks for any help!
