There is no such thing as a raw string *object*. There are only raw string 
*literals*. The r'' determines how the source code is parsed, not how the 
contents of the object is treated.

   label = r'$\textrm{test}_2$'
   xlabel(label)

After the source code containing the string literal is parsed, the string is 
simply a string.
