Returned range name duplicates inner single quote #2702

Description

@filipesilva

If you request data for a sheet with a inner single quote, like Jon's Data in the example, the returned range name will duplicate the inner quotes: 'Jon''s Data'!A1:Z1000.

Using this range name will then lead to errors like Unable to parse range: Jon''s Data!A1:Z1000 because the returned range name does not exist.

Environment details

  • OS type and version: macOS Tahoe 26.2
  • Python version: Python 3.10.15
  • pip version: pip 25.2
  • google-api-python-client version: google-api-python-client-2.188.0

Steps to reproduce

  1. use any valid credentials, the sheet is public
  2. run the code below, you should see the commented result printed
SPREADSHEET_ID = '1uK8QrcKrc_wierOMaIXxRKeE_fjt_8FfzpvrnuM1BhM'
RANGE_NAME = "'Jon's Data'"
result = service.spreadsheets().values().get(spreadsheetId=SPREADSHEET_ID, range=RANGE_NAME).execute()
print(result.get('range'))
# 'Jon''s Data'!A1:Z1000
