% lxc exec x1 bash
root@x1:~# lsb_release -rd

>>> import shlex
>>> def shlex_quote(v):
...     return "'" + v.replace("'", "\'\"\'\"\'") + "'"
... 
>>> value="SanDisk'"
>>> value
"SanDisk'"
>>> shlex.quote(value)
'\'SanDisk\'"\'"\'\''
>>> shlex_quote(value)
'\'SanDisk\'"\'"\'\''
>>> print(shlex.quote(value))
'SanDisk'"'"''
>>> 
root@x1:~# echo 'SanDisk'"'"''
