*nod* Changing the Unicode quotes to double quotes is fine.

(I generally use Unicode quotes so it's clear which quotes delimit code
from English prose and which quotes are literal parts of the code.
However, that's just me.)

Something is not clear to me in this paragraph. I do see that if we had
written «printf("'%s'", value)», SyntaxError's could still have resulted;
however, I don't see how that is a reason not to choose single quotes.
We _could_ still have chosen single quotes if we had escaped backslashes,
single quotes, and newlines in «value» before printing it, couldn't we?

It's not clear to me what this paragraph is trying to explain: whether
it's trying to explain why the code generates a «bytes» object as
opposed to a «str» object, or to explain the choice to escape every byte
(even those that don't _require_ escaping according to Python's bytes
literals syntax), or something else.

Also, s/ether/either/.

Looks good.

Thanks!
