+String Quotes
+=============
+
+In Python, single-quoted strings and double-quoted strings are the
+same.  This PEP do not make a recommendation for this.  Pick a rule
+and stick to it.  When a string contains single or double quote
+characters, however, use the other one to avoid backslashes in the
+string. It improves readability.
+
+For triple-quoted strings, always use double quote characters to be
+consistent with the docstring convention in PEP 257.

 Whitespace in Expressions and Statements
