I'm building a website using Python which uses LaTeX to generate PDF files. But I want to put most of the website on Google App Engine, and I can't run LaTeX on that. So I want to do the LaTeX part on another server.
It seemed like a simple problem at first---I thought the best way to do it would be to POST the LaTeX to the server and have it respond with the PDF. But LaTeX files can take a while to compile sometimes if they're long, so I'm starting to think this isn't the best way to do it. What's the standard way of doing something like this? It must be a pretty common problem.
can you send it by email just like amazon , send a file to server , when it's ok , the server send it by email
