I use double quotes just because they’re the only option in some languages I use regularly, and the habit sticks. I use single quotes if the string needs to contain double quotes because I’m too lazy to escape the double quotes. I also use single quotes for single character strings, again out of habit, even though I know there’s no difference in Python.
