string – What is the difference between and in python?
There is no difference at runtime. The only difference between the two types of quotes is the one you have already pointed out:
- Single quotes need to be escaped inside single quoted string literals but not inside double-quoted string literals.
- Double quotes need to be escaped inside double quoted string literals but not inside single-quoted string literals.
Note: If you use triple-quoted strings (foo or bar) then you dont need to escape either (unless you happen to have a sequence of three quotes in a row inside the string).
