Python: Is there a different between ' and " in strings?

Question

In PHP there is a difference:

$var='text';
'$var' → $var
"$var" → text

In some other languages:

'c' → single char
"string" → multiple chars

and in Python?

@heinst, I don't agree that this is a duplicate. The referenced question asks if there is a stylistic difference, this question appears to be asking if there is a semantic difference. — Duncan, Aug 12 '15 at 15:07
Those answers refer to the Docs that say there is no difference, that it's all style @Duncan — heinst, Aug 12 '15 at 15:09
@Duncan I think it is very clear from the numerous answers in the other link that there is no semantic difference between the two — Cory Kramer, Aug 12 '15 at 15:09

There is no difference whatsoever, it is just a style preference.

If you print your code you will use up less printer ink if you use single quotes . :-) – Matthias Aug 12 '15 at 18:14
