You've got hi-bit characters in your data. MSSQL with pymssql will store
this, but not understand it.
You most likely are looking for a "normal" ASCII apostrophe (i.e. ord(39))
instead of the hi-bit version you've got.
to get it, try ${str}.replace(ord(146), "'") <-- that last bit is a
single quote (apostrophe) surrounded by double-quotes
