It makes about as much sense to standardize the use of double and single 
quoting in Python as it does do try and genreate personal email adresses 
in a company from some kind of systematic approach.

There will allways be reasons to break the system.

Personally I use single quotes as much as possible because it is a 
direct key on may Danish keyboard. To double quote I have to press 
shift+2. :-/
