I want to use single quote in a variable name and keyword. I know how to do this for a variable value using single and double quotes("5'\_Exon\_Annotation") or using black slash to escape the single quote. But not sure how to do this with variable name/ key word. Below are examples of how I want to assign values to column names and a variable that needs single quote. 

```
    5'co-ordinate = "something" 

    gene_df = gene_df.assign(gene_position = gene_pos,
                             5'_co-ordinate =  bkpt1_list[1],
                             3'_co-ordinate = bkpt2_list[1])

```

First of all is it possible in Python? I couldn't find a post related to this.
