So what about curly quotes? This would make at least some sense, regardless of unicode.
-1. This would break code using curly quotes in string literals, break existing Python IDEs and parsers.
BTW: I have yet to find a keyboard which allows me to enter such quotes. I think you simply have to accept that MS Word is not a supported editor for Python applications ;-)

Hehe :) For me, putting them in is simply as having this in my vimrc config: inoremap <C-o> <C-V>147 inoremap <C-p> <C-V>148 Currently I don't become code from outer applications so I type them in, so for new code it will not cause much problems. For old code I think it not so infeasible to make batch convert to the new format. AND you know, even in VIM with its spartanic "Courier New" monowidth font, those quotes look sooo much better, that I really want it. And in my code there tons of quotes in concatenating string for console commands. So I am +1 on this, but of course I cannot argue that it is very "uncomfortable" change in general. Mikhail
