Python makes no distinction between single characters and strings. One can use single or double quotes.
 
The advantage of having both is that one can use single quotes to quote strings containing literal double quotes and vice versa.
'c' # character
'text' == "text"
' " '
" ' "
'\x20' == ' '
u'unicode string'
u'\u05d0' # unicode literal
 
Verbatim strings are contained within either single or double quotes, but have an r or R prepended to indicate that escape sequences should be interpreted literally. This is often useful with regular expressions.
 
r'\x20' == '\\x20'
 
Here-strings are denoted with triple quotes.
 
''' single triple quote '''
""" double triple quote """
