How does Python's triple-quote string work?

Question

How should this function be changed to return \"123456\"?

def f():
    s = \"\"\"123
    456\"\"\"
    return s

Maybe I'm missing something obvious but what about this:

def f():
    s = """123456"""
    return s

or simply this:

def f():
    s = "123456"
    return s

or even simpler:

def f():
    return "123456"

If that doesn't answer your question, then please clarify what the question is about.
