python-mysqlHow can I escape a string for use in a MySQL query in Python?
Escaping a string for use in a MySQL query in Python can be done using the MySQLdb.escape_string() function. This function takes a string as an argument and returns an escaped version of the string, with any special characters such as single quotes, double quotes, backslashes, etc. replaced with their escaped equivalents.
For example, the following code block:
import MySQLdb
myString = "This string contains 'single quotes' and \"double quotes\""
escapedString = MySQLdb.escape_string(myString)
print(escapedString)
will output:
This string contains \'single quotes\' and \"double quotes\"
The code works by:
- Importing the
MySQLdbmodule - Assigning a string to the
myStringvariable - Passing the
myStringvariable to theMySQLdb.escape_string()function - Assigning the returned value to the
escapedStringvariable - Printing the
escapedStringvariable
For more information, see the MySQLdb documentation.
