Hmm.  I think you missed what he was getting at. He's not talking about
Python escape sequences. He's talking about HTML ones.  There is a
function in one of the standard library modules that does this.  I think
it's called html_sanitize or something.  Google will find this.

What don't you understand about it?  It's basic python string formatting
(well python 2.x string formatting).

http://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#string-formatting-operations

A tuple is one method for passing variables into the string formatter.
So if you need to display something twice, just put in two "%s" in the
format string, and pass it the same variable twice.
