Description

Currently, the implementation of the code generator for Python can generate invalid Python code if single quotes are used within an OpenAPI specification, e.g. for default values. This stems from invalid single quote escaping within the generator.

This seems to have happened already quite a few years ago during refactoring, since the test seems might have been created as a result of this #5981.

The minimal example from there is still valid and is again used as an example below

Issue 5981

Suggest a fix

It's kind of hard to spot, but in Java the strings "'" and "\'" (edit: in markdown too apparently 😂) are identical, so the implementation and its test were broken identically.

The simple solution is to use correct escaping in Java by double escaping the backward slash \\, so that a single backward slash is actually included in the output.

Please see here for a PR that fixes the issue as explain before.
