+Quotes
+~~~~~~

+Use double quotes unless single quotes make it possible to escape less
+characters in a given string. See the examples below:
+
+::
+
+    # Normal string.
+    print("hello world")
+
+    # Use double quotes as usual to avoid escapes.
+    print("hello 'world'")
+
+    # Use single quotes as an exception to the rule to avoid escapes.
+    print('hello "world"')
+
+    # Both quote styles would require 2 escapes; prefer double quotes if it's a tie.
+    print("'hello' \"world\"")

 When you let the compiler infer the type hint, write the colon and equal signs together: ``:=``.
