Triple quotes allow you to have quotes inside the string. I tend to use
triple quotes if I'm writing text of any length, that way I dont need to
change anything if I do need to insert a quote. I dont think its a
matter of coding style, its purely a practical issue. If your PHB
insists on consistency, I would just use """

Show him PEP-8 (http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0008.html). PEP-8, in turn, references a few other style PEPs.
