Where did you see that? The only place I saw it was the style guide and it was only talking about docstrings. Even there they used """ as an example but the text talked about using triple quotes as opposed to single quotes even when it is a single line docstring. I don't think that there is any preference for """ over ''' in general. Pick one for consistiency. Note however that """ can't be confused with " followed by ' as in "'A' is the first letter of the alphabet." -- D'Arcy J.M.
