Alexander Shigin commented on THRIFT-153:
-----------------------------------------

It seems so.

And my patch should be reworked. It's uncommon to use triple single quote, but 
if anyone use it, he gets an error. I think it's better to replace ' to \' and 
use single quote as guard.

Your string should be escaped like: 'Can\'t touch this'.

> If I declare a constant in a Thrift iDL like this:
> const string HAMMER_TIME = "Can't touch this";
> The generated Python sources generate a constant like this:
> HAMMER_TIME = 'Can't touch this';
> This doesn't work because the apostrophe terminates the string constant.
> Since Python supports string constants using either ' or ", an easy fix is 
> just to use " around Python constants instead:
