> 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.
