Summary: Math mode not well handled in \documentclass{howto}

Initial Comment:
LaTeX loses its Math Magic (tm) when using 
\documentclass{howto}: underscore operator in math 
enviroment doesn't produce subscripts.

This documents shows some oddities:

\documentclass{howto}

\begin{document}

Water is $H_2O$, and subscript is missing from...

\[ V_{0,r} \]

Superscripts are instead fine, as $e^{\pi i} + 1 = 0$ 
shows.

Also this is completely different from what obtained by
\textbackslash documentclass\{article\}.

\[ \sum_{k=0}^\infty \int_0^k f(x) dx \]
\end{document}

The bug is removed by commenting out lines 541--549 in 
python.sty, but i don't know how to *fix* them... (not a 
TeXpert)

Using Python 2.3.5, Windows 2000, LaTeX2e (e-TeX 
3.141592-2.2, MikTex 2.4 implementation)
