latex() "escapes" latex forms in IPython

[singlets]

I'm getting double backslashes using latex() in ipython ina terminal and Jupyter notebooks:

Python 3.4.3 |Anaconda 2.2.0 (32-bit)| (default, Jun  4 2015, 15:28:02)
IPython 4.0.0 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.

In [1]: from sympy import *

In [2]: init_printing()

In [3]: var('x')
Out[3]: x

In [4]: latex(x**2/2, mode='equation*')
Out[4]: '\\begin{equation*}\\frac{x^{2}}{2}\\end{equation*}'

Using 'plain' python works 'as expected':

Python 3.4.3 |Anaconda 2.2.0 (32-bit)| (default, Jun  4 2015, 15:28:02)
>>> from sympy import *
>>> init_printing()
>>> var('x')
x
>>> latex(x**2/2, mode='equation*')
\begin{equation*}\frac{x^{2}}{2}\end{equation*}
>>>

Is there a way to disable the escaping in ipython?

Thanks,
Steve

Hello.

All of this is normal. If you use for example print(latex(x**2/2, mode='equation*')), you will have the expected behavior.
