I'd like to do the text
"conservative"
with the quotation marks into a \texttt. However, when I do so, the first quotation mark is removed. I'm using the LNCS documentclass, I'm not sure if this has something to do with it. I also can't escape the first ", then it puts two dots above the c, which is wrong.
If, instead of the ligatures (which, I believe, is how the "double backping and double apostrophe become proper qoutation marks"-mechanism works), you use unicode characters, it seems to work as expected. Alternatively, you can use \texorpdfstring{for TeX typesetting}{for bookmarks} in your \section command.
This illustrates the two options.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[bookmarks,pdftex]{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\section{The phrases ``nudge nudge'' and “wink wink” }
\section{The \texorpdfstring{``larch''}{"larch"}}
\end{document}
Use the upquote package; even if the package documentation doesn't mention alltt, it works also with it:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{alltt}
\usepackage{upquote}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{fullpage}
\begin{document}
\begin{center}
\LARGE hello.py
\end{center}
\begin{alltt}
{\color{red}print} 'hello world'
\end{alltt}
\end{document}
Notice some modifications to the input.

this is a bit of a plain-tex hack, but it'll get you what you want.
you might want to make this into a command:
