Python converts \ + character in strings as escaping. The \b in your string
becomes a backspace (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#ASCII_control_code_chart).
You need to either escape the \, i.e., use '\\bar{\\phi}$', or, much
easier, if you don't care about escaping, use a raw string, which just
means to put an r in front of the quotes, like r'\bar{\phi}'.
If you want to get LaTeX, pprint() will not do it. You should use
init_printing() to enable latex printing.
