in Python, is there a way to quote a string as to avoid escaping ' or "
inside the string?
i.e. like Perl's q or qq.
thanks.

Aren't you the guy who's telling the whole world how to write Python and
Perl? Unusual to find arrogance and humility in such close proximity.
Please stop cross-posting your ill-informed and inflammatory stuff to
c.l.py and c.l.perl.m. And now I have your attention, the answer to your
question is ...
Use triple-quoting.

An example, for the sake of examples:
Python 2.3.4 (#53, May 25 2004, 21:17:02) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright" , "credits" or "license" for more information.[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> string = """ " ' " ' " ' " ' \""" """
>>> string[/color][/color][/color]
' " \' " \' " \' " \' """ '[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> string = """[/color][/color][/color]
.... "
.... "
.... "
.... '
.... '
.... '
.... \"""
.... "\""
.... ""\"
.... """[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> string[/color][/color][/color]
'\n"\n"\n"\n\'\ n\'\n\'\n"""\n" ""\n"""\n'
