Single quotes are easier to type so I prefer them. I very rarely find myself using apostrophes in non-triple quoted strings. I like it when things are easier to type, but I feel a vague sense of deja vu here <>wink<>. :)

I'm certainly not suggesting that anyway else needs to agree with that particular idiosyncrasy of mine - there are plenty of reasons to prefer to do things the other way around. And when I'm changing existing code, I try to stick to whatever convention that code already uses.

Agreed, and sorry, I didn't mean to imply you (or anybody else) was wrong in your preferences! I still have this idea of playing "Stump The Guido" some day at Pycon, where we get a dozen or so Python hackers to write some similar code in their own idiosyncratic styles and we see if Guido can match the code with the hacker. At least one of /my/ major tells will have been eradicated by then. :) - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) iQCVAwUBSCRTJHEjvBPtnXfVAQLsvwQAkexLiblEWUiJ/af/0hXAeemUjaCjplfZ gMdXNGjCTALFjhq2608CbXOY+fyrHhDC5D2JTl2LziH328HUD84hOL32fWin8R4X r270zzypE3PnLStEjObW1kTBNe0ROZv4DkgclUn+Y7xC7pvJFzQxEAX0OqiHZQUu UjylCKEw+ZI= =HHcl -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
