There's no difference. It helps you avoid explicit escapes, i. e.
>>> "What's up?"
"What's up?"
is a tad more readable than
>>> 'What\'s up'
"What's up"
Likewise, multiline strings are easier

Thanks, this looks better and I indeed think it is important. The "del ..."

Hi,
I'm writing a multiprocessing program whose behavior I don't understand.
Essentially, the main process collects data and then passes it to a consumer
process.
For performance reasons I'm using a "static" circular buffer created through
array.array(), and then passing it "as-is" by pushing it

So, Python's rate of expansion is accelerating, like
the universe. Does that mean there's some kind of dark
energy fuelling its growth?
