Unholy perlism, Batman!
For the benefit of gentle readers who are newish and might not have
seen the ` character in Python code outside a string literal, or for
those who'd forgotten, there is a cure:
| >>> re.sub(r"`(.*?)`", r"repr(\1)", "print `whatever`, `foo`, `bar`")
| 'print repr(whatever), repr(foo), repr(bar)'
:-)
