In standard SQL, backslashes have no special significance. String literals 
are delimited by single quotes, and any characters (except single quotes) 
are allowed in them; to include a single quote in the string, write it 
twice.

So in Python, this expression is sufficient to turn a string “s” into a 
standard SQL string literal:

    "'" + s.replace("'", "''") + "'"
