You can use triple escapes, or a raw string.

Your doing:

>>> print("select subject from articles where  subject regexp '\"test\"' ")
select subject from articles where  subject regexp '"test"'

Use a raw string, which is a r'string with a r in front':

>>> print(r"select subject from articles where  subject regexp '\"test\"' ")
select subject from articles where  subject regexp '\"test\"' 

Or triple escapes (\\\):

>>> print("select subject from articles where  subject regexp '\\\"test\\\"' ")
select subject from articles where  subject regexp '\"test\"'
