label = 'this is quoted'

label.replace('','\'')

What I should have been using is label.replace('','\\')
:-) Nevermind.
 
 
 hold on a second pardner! :-)  what were you trying to do, provide
 escaped quotes?  because if it was something else, like replacing the
 double quotes with singles, you had it correct.
 
  Yes. Escaped quotes. To be inserted in web content as escaped quotes
  in code for a Javascript Alert call

 otherwise your solution can also be done with raw strings:
 
  label.replace('','\\')
 'this is \\quoted\\'
  label.replace('',r'\')
 'this is \\quoted\\'
 
  Good tip tho'  I keep forgetting about raw strings.

 ok, i'll stop thinking about it now.  ;-)
 
  Thanks!
