In PHP, I would write this as print "'$x'" which seems easier to read than any of the Python versions. Of course, sharp-eyed readers will notice that I inverted the single and double quotes because print '"$x"' doesn't work. If you really wanted to replicate the output exactly, you would have to do print "\"$x\"" by which time you'd probably run back to writing it in Python :-)
