What do you mean?  What is the difference between single- and triple-quotes in
this context?  

Python 2.2 (#1, Mar 15 2002, 11:52:42) 
[GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-81)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> """hello"""
'hello'
>>> "hello"
'hello'
>>> 

As you can see, the results are the same (a string).  Perhaps if you give an
idea of what you are trying to do...
