I agree, and so does PEP 8:
String Quotes
In Python, single-quoted strings and double-quoted strings are the
same. This PEP does 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.
