Hi!

Suppose you're writing a module & writing the
definition of each function in that module in " or
""".
for example:
a) "This function does this & that"
or:
b)  """This function does blah blah blah"""

What are the differences between " and """ ? I'm using gedit & I wanna know a bit about coding
style.


Generally speaking """ ... """ is reserbed for multiline string constats and those whihc need to contain both single and double quotes - such as

"""Python's quotes are "'" and '"'"""

or
"""\
This is a multiline
string that has one newline in it."""

[Note that there is no starting newline in the second example, as I escaped it off with the \].

To be very honest: I have a very strict boss who looks
for bugs in my codes & he insists to know exactly
which 'CODING STYLE AUTHORITATIVE SOURCE' I've based
my coding style on when using " or """.

Can anybody out there give me some hint?
Can anybody tell me where to find a document on python
coding style.

tnx,
Sara
