When patching someone else's code, I try to adopt the existing style (if I remember...) - note that some projects are not consistent (e.g. standard library files, even within single packages (e.g. email) are strongly author dependent in this respect). Left on my own, I tend to use double quotes, except when the string contains such. Seems that this is a common practice among people that also do C/C++ programming. See also here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/56011/single-quotes-vs-double-quotes-in-python I imagine that for people who can stick to pure-python (lucky b****rds ;-) ) single quote would be more attractive (for reasons stated by others).
