Using POUND SIGN as a string in PYTHON?

Question

I want to have a string containing 4 pound signs..how can I accomplish this in Python without commenting the string out due to the pound signs?

Answer 1

What about:

x = '####'

If between quotes, it will not be a comment!

Answer 2

As said before, single quotes do the job for string literals. You might also want to have a look at Python documentation

Answer 3

If some IDE interprets '####' as a half-baked string plus a comment, change the IDE!
