# coding: utf-8
# This script autogenerates `IPython.core.latex_symbols.py`, which contains a
# single dict , named `latex_symbols`. The keys in this dict are latex symbols,
# such as `\\alpha` and the values in the dict are the unicode equivalents for
# those. Most importantly, only unicode symbols that are valid identifiers in
# Python 3 are included.
#
# The original mapping of latex symbols to unicode comes from the `latex_symbols.jl` files from Julia.
