I got the same thing with idle, but when running as a script, it's not
the same, it errors. I tried it on Windows and Linux.
-------------------------------------------
[da...@arch64 Python]$ less test.py
#/usr/bin/python3
print ('The \"This is a test \" {')
[da...@arch64 Python]$ sh test.py
test.py: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `'The \"This is a
test \" {''
test.py: line 3: `print ('The \"This is a test \" {')'
[da...@arch64 Python]$ python3
Python 3.0.1 (r301:69556, Feb 22 2009, 14:12:04)

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> print ('The \"This is a test \" {')
The "This is a test " {
>>>
-------------------------------------------
However the double quotes was exactly what the doctor ordered ! :)
