title: Removing quotes from python variable
body: <p>I have the following code snippet</p>
  <pre><code>import requests, json
  key = &quot;1kjhnuig2&quot;
  def api_call():
    r = requests.post('https://myFancyUrl',headers={'Authorization': 'ApiKey &quot;' + (key) + '&quot;'})
  ...
  </code></pre>
  <p>When I run this function the Authorization header ends up looking like this:</p>
  <pre><code>'Authorization': 'ApiKey &quot;1kjhnuig2&quot;'
  </code></pre>
  <p>But the receiving system will not accept this call because the API key has quotes around it.  How can I remove the quotes and have the following output?</p>
  <pre><code>'Authorization': 'ApiKey 1kjhnuig2'
  </code></pre>
  <p>I've tried using replace, strip, eval, etc and can't seem to get my desired outcome.</p>
