The easiest way I know is to enable TeX mode for matplotlib,
from http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/UsingTex:
from matplotlib import rc
rc('font',**{'family':'sans-serif','sans-serif':['Helvetica']})
rc('text', usetex=True)

What this does is it runs all your text through TeX, writing various files on the way. Matplotlib has its own TeX-like engine that is faster - just put dollar signs around the formula.

Put dollar signs around the formula: plt.xlabel("$n_1$")
