To make this more explicit:

foo=''' '
echo This is Shell code
exec python $0
' '''
print("This is Python")

So to Python, you have a (multiline, hence the triple-quote) string which
contains of a space and a single quote, a linefeed, random text, and the
reverse linefeed-singlequote-space combo.

To the shell, $foo is a single space.

In fact, I would do this slightly differently:

#!/bin/sh
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

shell_code=''' '
echo This is Shell
exec python $0

python_code='''
## ONLY use DOUBLE quotes ‹"› after this line
print("This is Python")

# End of Python code. Do not modify this line. #'

This way, "dash -n $SCRIPT" will ignore the Python code
(since it's a string) and not report a syntax error.
