[FIXED] Is there a simple way to copy "LaTeX code" from IPython LaTeX-png in Spyder?

Issue

I have set up IPython console in Spyder to output in LaTeX with sympy via

import sympy as sy
sy.init_printing(use_latex=True)

The output now is a LaTeX style png. Now I would like to copy paste the underlying "LaTeX code" into my .tex file. How can I do that efficiently, how do I get the LaTeX from this png output?

E.g. from the output of

a, b, c, d  = sy.symbols('a b c d')
sy.Eq(a**2*(b-c),d)

which is a^2(b-c)=d, but in a fancy LaTeX-png, I would like to get something like

a^{2} \left(b-c\right) = d

In reality the equations are much more complex and there are a lot of them and I don't want to transcribe them all manually.

Thanks for your help!

Solution

I figured it out myself

sy.print_latex(sy.Eq(a**2*(b-c),d))

does the trick!

printing this in the console gives the output

a^{2} \left(b - c\right) = d

like I wanted.
