Post #217,526 by inthane-chan 8/4/05 3:43:56 PM Reply	Stupid Python question In Python, is there any semantic difference between 'string' and "string"? I notice a lot of sample text does assignments thus: d={"answer":42,"question":None} when d={'answer':42,'question':None} does the same thing, without using the shift key, and thus reducing mistypes. Any reasons?
Post #217,531 by ChrisR 8/4/05 3:53:44 PM 8/4/05 3:54:45 PM Reply	Would make it look too much like Pascal IIRC, in the land of Delphi, 'string' and "c"(har) reign. Mostly just a matter of being normative with the C and Java crowd that uses "string" and 'c'(har). Consistency is the main thing. [Edit note: can't be having a grammer mistake when criticizing Delphi now, can we?] Edited by ChrisR Aug. 4, 2005, 03:54:45 PM EDT Expand All History

Post #217,875 by CRConrad 8/6/05 7:24:57 PM 8/6/05 7:34:54 PM Reply	Actually, no; both are '. [Duh-the other was what you said!] So, umm... What was your edit? To me, both versions look exactly the same. And it still reads "...being normative with...", which is a somewhat peculiar usage of "normative", that I neither recognize nor could swear that I understand what you mean by it here. But, "grammer"(sic)? No, I don't think so. AFAIK, word meaning is a subject distinct from grammar(sic!). [link\|mailto:MyUserId@MyISP.CountryCode\|Christian R.

Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575\|Ashton Brown] Edited by CRConrad Aug. 6, 2005, 07:34:54 PM EDT Expand All History

You know the French. The problem with them is that they have no word for entrepreneur.
