| | 38 | * Prefer single quotes to double quotes. Use double quotes only if the string contains single quotes (or if you are using "triple double quotes"). This simplifies writing unit tests because Python behaves this way when rendering string objects to the console. For example-- |
| | 39 | {{{ |
| | 40 | >>> list = ["blah", 'blah', '\'blah\''] |
| | 41 | >>> print list |
| | 42 | ['blah', 'blah', "'blah'"] |
| | 43 | }}} |
