Errno 1 Operation not permitted

Drizzel

Whenever I try to run this basic script, I get the Error [Errno 1] Operation not permitted. It’s some example code of the pylatex module, so it should theoretically work. Or is it IOS that blocks some functions?

@Drizzel it seems like Document.generate_pdf() uses subprocess to spawn a seperate process for generating the PDF. This is not allowed by iOS, thus the error.
