Strings in Python

Single- and double-quoted strings work in the same way
s1 = "some string with a number %g" % r
s2 = 'some string with a number %g' % r  # = s1
Triple-quoted strings can be multi line with embedded newlines:
text = """
large portions of a text
can be conveniently placed
inside triple-quoted strings
(newlines are preserved)"""
Raw strings, where backslash is backslash:
s3 = r'\(\s+\.\d+\)'
# with ordinary string (must quote backslash):
s3 = '\\(\\s+\\.\\d+\\)'
