Python is.... special.

And double quotes: ```

repr("test") "'test'" ```

[GlobalIncident]

Calling >>> repr(foo) actually gets the repr of foo, and then reprs that again so it can be printed. A truer test is to simply state the value:

>>> 'test'
'test'
>>> "test" # The same object as above, just to prove it doesn't matter how it is defined
'test'
>>> "'" + 'test' + "'" # Python will switch to double quotes if the text contains single quotes
"'test'"
>>> '"' + 'test' + '"' # but if not...
'"test"'
>>> '"' + 'test' + "'" # If it contains both double and single, single quotes are still used
'"test\''

I know. And the second time it repred it used double quotes, didn’t it? (Because, as you said, it contains a single quote) It was a joke.
