This might be more a python problem than Web2Py:

I am using the following query:

 query1 = "regexp_replace(lower(us2006_2010.title),
'(<i>|</i>|<sup>|</sup>|[^[:alnum:]_])', '', 'g') =
regexp_replace(lower('%s'), '(<i>|</i>|<sup>|</sup>|[^[:alnum:]_])', '',
'g')" % some_string

It works OK until query1 expands to the following (see the '2,2'-...)

"regexp_replace(lower(us2006_2010.title),
'(<i>|</i>|<sup>|</sup>|[^[:alnum:]_])', '', 'g') =
regexp_replace(lower('2,2'-(Butane-1,4-diyl)dibenzimidazolium dichloride
dihydrate'), '(<i>|</i>|<sup>|</sup>|[^[:alnum:]_])', '', 'g')"

How do I escape the ' after the second '2' in this query?

I am using postgresql as database.

Regards
Johann
