using of quotes in python

Question

I have 3 questions:
1. Can we use ''' instead of """ in Docstring
2. Can we use ''' while using string literals or string datatype
3. Can we use " and ' while making multi-line comments.

I have tried and it all works but is there any rule which need to be strictly followed among developers.

Answer 1

I don't like triple quote strings and therefore also would use normal quotes and split it up in lines using auto-concat for doc strings as it seems to work properly.

So like this:

'Function f...'
'... does this and that.'

I wouldn't use strings for normal comments outside of doc strings because it is a real value (str) and will have to be parsed.
