This will only fail for cases where there are multiple opening and
closing quotes.
Is that our case?


BTW I usually prefer code that is more expressive:

if val.startswith('"'):
    val =  val[1:]
if val.endswith('"'):
    val =  val[:-1]


On a tangent note, since the C++20 standard strings have the
starts_with and ends_with methods. :-)
