python: how to set a string equal quotes?

Question

i have quotes inside a string like this

string1="blah blah blah "  some'  thi'ng "  end of string "

how do i make sure the quotes are included in there?

please note i have both doubel and single quotes in there

Answer 1

Triple quotes are harder to break.

string1="""blah blah blah "  some'  thi'ng "  end of string """

Answer 2

You can use \" to make quotes not break quotes.

Answer 3

if you don't want to go through the whole string putting a backslash before every offending quote, i'd enclose the string in triple quotes. this is especially good for a string that will span several lines.
