How to include a double-quote and/or single-quote character in a raw Python string literal?

Consider:

>>> r"what"ever"
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> r"what\"ever"
'what\\"ever'

So how do we get the quote, but not the slash?

And please don't suggest r'what"ever', because then the question just becomes how do we include both types of quotes?

Nevermind, the answer is raw triple-quoted strings:

r"""what"ever"""
