[mod_python] How to sanitize input?

Hi,

Before I take form data and start putting it into an sql statement for
updating/inserting to a database, I assume I will need to clean it up.
That is, in PHP, I used to addslashes() to each field before inserting
to the database, in case it has characters that would mess up the sql.

How do I sanitize my input in python?

Thanks,

Kevin
