How to replace single quotes (') with \' in python?

Need to convert from

to

Answer 1

Try the following code:

s = "{'fr': '', 'en': 'Title Edit 02'}"
s= s.replace("'","\\'").strip("\\'")
print(s) # Or Do What you need with s 

Output: {\'fr\': \'\', \'en\': \'Title Edit 02\'}

Talk is cheap. Show you the code

str = "{'fr': '', 'en': 'Title Edit 02'}"
str1 = str.replace("\'", "\\\'")
print(str1)
