Will it render my matrices/vectors? I suppose since Python doesn't have static typing that is unlikely.

I've been using sage math a lot and the latex generation is really solid. It only renders greek letters correctly if you type them out though, it won't transform unicode greek letters to the correct latex equivalent. Though maybe XeTeX would solve this problem? I'm not sure.

If it puts the Unicode character into the Tex source, verbatim, XeTeX is the way to go (or Luatex or Context, I believe): at this point I almost never use vanilla LaTeX
