Add element with single quote to dictionary in Python

Question

I created dictionary in python like below:

flip= {'0': 'a"', '1':'b"', '2':'c"'}

But I don't want to use double quotes. I need elements with single quotes. How can I do something like below? I was trying with \\, \, but it seems not to work.

Correct dict should look like below:

flip= {'0': 'a'', '1':'b'', '2':'c''}

In the linked duplicate, it is explained for double quote. `"`. Similar approaches are applicable for single quotes `'` as well. It is explained in accepted answer to the linked post — Moinuddin Quadri, Jan 19 '17 at 11:37
The dictionary is irrelevant to the question. See how to create a [mcve]. — Peter Wood, Jan 19 '17 at 11:49

You can simply use double quotes around the element.

lip= {'0': "a'", '1':"b'", '2':"c'"}

Using backslash should work, have you tried below?

flip= {'0': 'a\'', '1':'b\'', '2':'c\''}
