holy cow

after 2-3 years of python fixing my brain, i had to write some c code to escape some characters in a string.

now this is 1 line in python :

s = s.replace("'", "'").replace(..etc..)

in C it's about 50 lines. maybe that's because i'm an awful C programmer or maybe that's because i've let too many pythonisms creep into my C. in any case, python rools, C drools.
