...The only good reason to escape a quotation mark is if you need *both* quote marks in a single string:

"John Cleese said, \"'e's not dead, 'e's just pining for the fjords!\""

And even here you can use outer triple quotes if you prefer:

'''John Cleese said, "'e's not dead, 'e's just pining for the fjords!"'''
