Is there any way to make repr(aString) use double quotes?

Ahh... what I MEANT to write was, of course:

    '"%s"' % repr(aString)[1:-1].replace('"',r'\"')

Emphasizing the "not pretty" part further.  (I still think it is
prettier than Mike's though :-)).

Btw. The OP wrote "string", so obviously I am not interested in
repr(u"x").

Yours, Lulu...
