> turning python to PHP.

Why stop there? Go full Perl (:

I think Python needs more quoting operators, too. Maybe qq{} qq() q// ...

[I say this as someone who actually likes Perl and chuckles from afar at such Python developments. May you get there one day!]

Quoting operators are something I actually miss in Python whereas t-strings are something I have never wanted in 17 years of writing Python.
