Have you tried latex_float() as suggested here ?

def latex_float(f):
float_str = "{0:.2g}".format(f)
if "e" in float_str:
base, exponent = float_str.split("e")
return r"{0} \times 1
I tried:
plt.title (r'$\omega=%s$' % omega), where omega=-1e-5. The title says:
omega=-1e-05
with the 'e' in italics, and the whole thing generally ugly.
What I'd like to see is what TeX would do for $1 \times 10^{5}$.
I know mpl already can nicely format numbers for axis. Can I somehow use
