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