It's not a bug. The backslash is used in string formatting: \v has some meaning, while \w does not. See http://pythonweb.org/projects/webmodules/doc/0.5.3/html_multipage/lib/node48.html
Unfortunately, the backslash is also used in LaTeX formatting. I discovered a long time ago that it's best to pass Latex in strings with double backslash, for instance, \\vee. I guess the raw string thing works, too. john perry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
