shortest python quine?

Question

_=\'_=%r;print _%%_\';print _%_

Is this the shortest possible python quine, or can it be done better? This one seems to improve on all the entrie

Answer 1

Technically, the shortest Python quine is the empty file. Apart from this trivial case:

Since Python's print automatically appends a newline, the quine is actually _='_=%r;print _%%_';print _%_\n (where \n represents a single newline character in the file).
