Doc strings are a little strange. 'String' is the key word. 

 python3
Python 3.13.7 (main, Nov 24 2025, 20:51:28) [GCC 15.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> # this is a real comment
>>> """this a a multiline
...     string
... """
'this a a multiline\n    string\n'
>>> foo = """ more multiline
...           stuff
...           """
>>> print(foo)
 more multiline
          stuff
There are just strings that aren't assigned.
