you missed u"nicode" string and b"yte" string, each of them available in 
both single and double quote flavor and single and triple quote flavor. 
Also, it's possible to mix them together ur"unicode raw string" or 
br"byte raw string", they are also in single and double quote flavor and 
single and triple quote flavor. And of course, I can't believe you 
forget Guido's favourite version, g"", available in musical and sirloin 
cloth flavor.
