The following line of code fails in Python 3.6, which I find surprising. >>> assert '''"""''' == '""""' # Fails Note that the following all pass as expected: >>> assert """'''""" == "'''" # Passes >>> assert '''""''' == '""' # Passes |

> assert '''"""''' == '""""' # Fails
The left-hand side is a triple-quote string literal [1][2] that contains 3 double-quote characters. The right-hand side is a single-quote string literal that contains 4 double-quote characters. Use the interactive shell to check the values. For example:
>>> list('''"""''')
['"', '"', '"']
>>> list('""""')
['"', '"', '"', '"']
If you have difficulty understanding an aspect of the language syntax, please ask a question in an appropriate forum such as python-tutor, python-list, or Stack Overflow.
