[DanielNoord]

This is an issue in the pylint_quotes plugin, not with pylint. You'll need to raise the issue with them.

[dan-constantinescu]

Thank you for the response and for pointing me in the right direction. Checked the pylint-quotes open issues and this one was already reported there: edaniszewski/pylint-quotes#29.

[Pierre-Sassoulas]

Fixed in edaniszewski/pylint-quotes#28
