Python has a number of "quoting" 'options' to help """with times when""" one way may be more convenient than another.
In the world of shell scripting, I use a technique that I call minimal quoting. It works like this: foo=bar # No quotes needed echo $foo # Also none needed baz='Hello there' # Don't use double quotes. No iterpolation. qaz="$baz $foo and grill" # Interpolation needs double quotes. Is there some sort of best practices approach for when different types of quoting should be employed?
