I'm getting a unicodeescape error importing matplotlib in the IPython notebook interface. The traceback is shown below. Annotate states that https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/commit/bd71341ff645e1e4eb7470a5d2a5541e73bf6d5f introduced the changes to __init__.py which appears to have instigated the error. I was able to import matplotlib 1.3.1 in the IPython notebook. This traceback is appearing for me in both IPython 1.0.0 and 1.1.0. I'm on win32 32-bit. I would appreciate feedback on whether this is a real regression or something on my system.
