Using Pound Sign As A String In Python?

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?

Solution 1:

What about:

x = '####'

If between quotes, it will not be a comment!

Solution 2:

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

Solution 3:

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