  This python string literals
documentation<http://docs.python.org/2/reference/lexical_analysis.html#string-literals>couldn't
explain: single quote presence inside double quoted string and
viceversa.

I think both double quoted string and single quoted string need to be
defined differently for representing the 'stringliteral' lexical definition.

shortstringchar ::=  <any source character except "\" or newline or the quote>

 here in this definition 'the quote' isn't specific whether single (') or
double (").

I asked this question here,

. I was advised to ask here
