python syntax tips anyone?

Anybody have any tips on Python syntax? Sayings that help you remember whether or not quotes should be used in a certain place. In school I remember my teachers teaching us little sayings to remember Math and English topics. (Such as... "I before E except after C".. Or "Please Excuse My Dear And Sally", for the order of operations...) Are there any tricks like this that help you with writing code?

well you talking about Mnemonics? I find the best way to learn python is to dive straight into it.I wil just do a run down of what i have learnt and are the basics of the language. VARIABLES these should start by any letter characters not underscores or numbers declaring a variable in python is as simple as this tree = 'my tree' //inferred

num1 = 10

FUNCTIONS functions start by the word def here is my function which prints hello world

def printHello(): print('hello world')

so these are just the basic stuff learn by messing aroung happy coding
