I consider this totally cheating:

  $ python quine.py
  import sys
  print open(sys.argv[0]).read(),

I couldn't do python for a long time because it made me feel guilty all the time.

Sometimes writing python literally feels like taking candy from a baby

This misses the point of a Quine. You haven't written the code to generate the string, you've used an external library that someone else wrote to do that job for you.

I made this mistake the first time I tried too.

Oh I know, hence I called it "cheating"
