Simple regex that has me banging my head against a wall

[Timothy Grant]

Hi again.

I actually thought I had this regex thing down pretty well, but
I'm getting beat up by what I thought should be a simple one.

>>> x = '$1$asdfjke$lkjasdkjfsdasdfj'
>>> re.sub(r'\$', r'\\\$', x)
'\\\\$1\\\\$asdfjke\\\\$lkjasdkjfsdasdfj'

All I want to do is substitute \$ for $.

Thanks.
