[portland] Generating .tex From Python Code

[Jesse Hallett]

Since backslashes are generally parsed as escape characters, I believe 
you would get the right results if you replaced all of the backslashes 
(\) in strings with double backslashes (\\).

Be aware that some languages treat backslashes as escape characters in 
strings enclosed in double quotes (") but in strings enclosed in single 
quotes('). I don't remember whether Python does this; but if it does, 
then another solution would be to replace all of your double quotes with 
single quotes.

Cheers,
Jesse
