I'm working with a Python program to insert / update textual data into a PostgreSQL database. The text has single and double quotes in it, and I wonder: What is the easiest way to escape quotes in Python, similar to the Perlism "$str =~ s/(['"])/\\$1/g;"?
Just for the record (even though it's not the right solution to your problem), the Python equivalent is re.sub('''(['"])''', r'\\\1', s)
