There are a variety of Python libraries available for converting Markdown files to PDF, some of the popular ones are:

  1. pandoc: Pandoc is a command-line tool for converting between different document formats, including Markdown to PDF. You can call pandoc from Python using the subprocess module.

  2. markdown2pdf: This is a Python library that converts Markdown to PDF using LaTeX to generate the PDF.

  3. WeasyPrint: WeasyPrint is a Python library for rendering HTML and CSS to PDF. It can also convert Markdown to HTML, and then render the HTML to PDF.

Here is an example using Pandoc to convert a Markdown file to PDF:

import subprocess

# Convert the Markdown file to PDF using Pandoc
subprocess.call(['pandoc', 'input.md', '-o', 'output.pdf'])

Note that you will need to have Pandoc installed on your system for this to work. You can install it using your system's package manager or by downloading it from the Pandoc website.
