Nothing strong. I tend to use double quotes because I have a
background in C (where double quotes are for strings, single quotes
for characters), and double quotes are the recommendation for
docstrings (see PEP 258). If you tend to work a lot with SQL, you
might prefer single quotes. Use whatever makes you happy.
