I think I am more intersted in it for doc strings where punctuation of fre-form text is more frequently used. In the case of string literals such as your example, I am find the triple-single-quotes works just fine, and fails in fewer instances.From this quote on, Emacs syntax highlighting is in string mode. so code appears highlighted as a string. For more info see: http://www.etsimo.uniovi.es/python/emacs/python-mode/faq.htmlAnyway, I would contend that using a single quote for punctuation is much more common than having lone double-quotes in the text, and therefore a reasonable solution would be to use the tripple-double-quotes.I don't know, if Emacs could cope with that, but I suspect, that this could even do more harm. In literary text, you might have the occacional single quote, but in Webware texts, double quotes are much more common. I mean, we're dealing HTML here, where double quotes are everywhere: self.writeln('''<input type="text" width="25" value="Quotes">''') is nicer than this, IMO: self.writeln("""<input type="text" width="25" value="Quotes">""")
