I am using pylab to create some plots.
I can create tex in the figure labels. Most of the commands work fine, but
\rightarrow is not recognised.
It is being treated as \r ightarrow
i.e. it gets as far as \r then treats the rest as a separate word
\leftarrow and \Rightarrow both work perfectly.

Please see attached .eps which is generated by the following code:

from pylab import *

x = linspace(0,1,10)
y=sin(x)

figure(1)
plot(x,y)
xlabel('$a \leftarrow b \rightarrow c \Rightarrow $')

savefig('bugtest.eps')

Sorry, just figured it out.

Using 'raw text' by putting "r" before the open quote fixes the problem:
xlabel(r'$\rightarrow$)
