Deleting files does not work on Windows

Deleting files does not work on Windows.
Because you're using linux command "rm'.
It is better to use os.remove:
https://docs.python.org/2/library/os.html#os.remove

I've changed the file deletion in generate_pdf() to this:

    if clean:
        for ext in ['.aux', '.log', '.out', '.tex']:
            try:
                os.remove(filename + ext)
            except:
                pass

which works great on windows. The exception handling should be done better (Log? Or Print?), but for a quick fix this is enough.

Looks good, I don't think the exception should be a bit more specific. I'm not sure what error is raised when the file is not there, possibly IOerror or something, that way an unexpected exception is still recognized. But the handling itself is good, when the file is not there it also doesn't have to be removed.
If you can make a pull request I will merge it.

One more question, does the compiling really work on linux. Since the code uses the pdflatex command, or do you supply a different command for windows?

[winogradoff]

There is a whole latex for windows including pdflatex:

It should be fixed by by af96fc00
Could one of you confirm that it now works on Windows?

[JelteF]

Oh, it seems I'm using a python 3 specific error. I will fix that, but for now could you guys check if it works with Python 3?

I can confirm it works.
(Windows 8.1, Pyhton 3.4.1)

[JelteF]

Great, then I will close the issue. Btw I have made a workaround for the error, so Python 2 should work again as well.

[jrast]

Can this issue be reopened? This bug exists again, see the comment I made for commit f6ffaa4

[JelteF]

I missed those when merging. It should be fixed now.
