How to include a quote in a raw Python string

by

If you want to use double quotes in strings but not single quotes, you can just use single quotes as the delimiter instead:

r'what"ever'

If you need both kinds of quotes in your string, use a triple-quoted string:

r"""what"ev'er"""

If you want to include both kinds of triple-quoted strings in your string (an extremely unlikely case), you can’t do it, and you’ll have to use non-raw strings with escapes.
