What do you use most to string in Python, ' or "?
examples:
I just want to know what people use...Code:print("hello") or print('hello') x="hello" or x='hello' f=open("/home/hello.txt","w") or f=open('/home/hello.txt','w')
I use " most of the time(please post why)
I use ' most of the time(please post why)
I use both/ I use " to .../ I use ' to ...(please post where you use it, and why)
Gee! These Aren't Roasted!

Double-quote. Even though it would be quicker (for me) to type single-quotes, I've been programming in C so long that double-quotes are just habit.

Single quotes because it's quicker to type, though takes a while to get used to after C++ and I still sometimes use doubles without thinking

I use them both at random intervals.

Single quote to remind my fingers I'm in Python. By coding convention, python filenames are all lower-case, something that is a habit I had to break from the java ways.

I generally use double quotes for strings, in any language. I use single quotes for characters (guess what language I also use), and for a few other things.
Dipped in Ubuntu
I'm used to quotes in FORTRAN where if you wanted to output a " you'd have to put ' ' around it. But I think for Python, I intermix them.

Save the electrons - if you quote, trim!

I get used to single quotes really easily. Then I wonder why my C# code won't compile.
