this will be my first question here so sorry for asking such a noob question. How do you render the image(python text inside a rounded corner textbox) below using pure LaTeX?

    You can use TikZ for this. Something like \tikz\node[draw,rounded corners]{Python}; Commented Dec 31, 2019 at 6:24

    But I believe this is an XY problem, you might want to draw a diagram or something like that. Commented Dec 31, 2019 at 6:26

    There is the menukeys package, try \documentclass{article} \usepackage{menukeys} \begin{document} \keys{Python} \end{document}. But I agree with @Fractal that you might be better off if you just used TikZ. Commented Dec 31, 2019 at 6:55

Another solution using the TikZ package.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\newcommand\HappyNewYear[1]{\tikz[baseline=(x.base)]{
  \node[draw,rounded corners] (x) {#1};
}}
\begin{document}
\HappyNewYear{Python} is a programming language, but \HappyNewYear{snake} isn't.
\end{document}

If you don't need colour, a box from the simple fancybox package will do:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fancybox} 

\begin{document}

\ovalbox{\quad\sffamily Python\quad}
\bigskip 

\Ovalbox{\quad\sffamily Python\quad}

\end{document}

For more sophisticated needs, you have the mdframed or tcolorbox package.
