I need to escape '\n', '"', '[' and ']'. I finally went with a few of these: string.replace('\n', '\\n') string.replace('"', '\\"') ... I assume that's good enough, but I somehow expected there to exist some form of "insert your conversion table here" built-in string escaper. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
