I agree, and so does PEP 8:

    String Quotes

    In Python, single-quoted strings and double-quoted strings are the
    same.  This PEP does not make a recommendation for this.  Pick a
    rule and stick to it.  When a string contains single or double quote
    characters, however, use the other one to avoid backslashes in the
    string.  It improves readability.

    For triple-quoted strings, always use double quote characters to be
    consistent with the docstring convention in PEP 257.
