Suppose you have to put into a Python string the following sentence :
The play "All's Well That Ends Well" by Shakespeare
It's easy do it :
print """The play "All's Well That Ends Well" by Shakespeare"""
The play "All's Well That Ends Well" by Shakespeare
Now, change the sentence to this one :
The play "All's Well That Ends Well"
Using triple single quotes works fine
print '''The play "All's Well That Ends Well"'''
The play "All's Well That Ends Well"
But the first method doesn't run correctly :
print """The play "All's Well That Ends Well""""
File "<stdin>", line 1
print """The play "All's Well That Ends Well""""
^
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning single-quoted string
Any comment ?
Well, there's no such thing as """" defined in python.
