Using python to build a latex document

I have a script I have written in python which pulls data from a bunch of files on my computer which change daily. I want to insert the results into a latex template so that I can review the summary.

What is the best way to open a file and insert text into it at a specific point?

Preferably using a python, but I'm open to other tools if there is something better.

Thanks Russ

You could also do it all from within python using the pylatex library. https://github.com/JelteF/PyLaTeX

This way you only have to run the python file every day.

I figured out how to do it.

It seems to me the best way is to have python output low level latex code, then use latex's command \input to pull that code into a larger document.
