latex() in sympy. How to get \frac and not \\frac

latex, python, sympy

Solution

That is correct an output (`repr` escape some characters, `\` in this case.). Try to print it.

>>> x = '\\frac{\\alpha}{x}'
>>> x
'\\frac{\\alpha}{x}'
>>> print(x)
\frac{\alpha}{x}

Problem

``` from sympy import * x, alpha = symbols('x alpha') latex(alpha/x) Out[1]: '\\frac{\\alpha}{x}' ``` That doesn't work in latex. What do I do to get the proper output, i.e.: '\frac{\alpha}{x}' ?
