A multiline string with quotes next to the ending quote is not parsed 
correctly:

In [1]: """A "test""""
------------------------------------------------------------
   File "<ipython console>", line 1
     """A "test""""
                  ^
<type 'exceptions.SyntaxError'>: EOL while scanning single-quoted string

Is this normal behaviour? It seems to me like the parser should parse 
everything inside the triple double quotes (there is no ambiguity).
