This is an example of using pythontex

\begin{pycode}

import pylab as p 
import numpy as np
x = np.linspace(0.0,1.0,10)
y = 2.0*x + 5.0
xmax = max(x)
ymax = max(y)
p.plot(x,y)
outputfile = 'myplot.png'
p.savefig(outputfile)
p.clf()

\end{pycode}

% this works fine, I can print the name of the output file, variables

The plot is named \py{outputfile}, the max in x was \py{xmax} and \py{ymax}

% now I would like to plot it, this works 

\includegraphics[scale=0.75]{myplot.png}

% but when I do this

%\includegraphics[scale=0.75]{\py{outputfile}}

% I get 

%! File ended while scanning definition of \filename at base.
