Using three quotation marks for a docstring is a PEP convention. Docstrings are comments which are available during the program runtime, meaning that a developer can access the docstring using the __doc__ special attribute of an object. Docstrings are usually used as an interactive help system, or as metadata.

with using triple quotes u can retain the formats of contents to be printed in output as u are typing in program, means if u want to write content in multiple lines with some tabs. it is very easy without using \n and \t commands.
