In the process of working on handling spaces in latex, I had two realizations. First, spaces in Latex math could mean "multiply two variables" or it could just be a way of managing layout of the expression. (I posted examples in https://github.com/sympy/sympy/issues/19075).

My second realization was that it might be easier to remove the aspects of the Latex string that are related to presentation. Specifically in this case, replace a Latex string's "\ " with " " and replace "\," with " " before passing the string to Sympy.

Hi Ben,

I don't want to discourage you in any way, and I may be naive, but I'd have thought LaTex would always be ambiguous one way or another - particularly if it is hand written. I'd have thought the best solution in the long term would be if people wrote their equations in SymPy and then generated LaTex with the latex() function.
