I actually did this per your instruction originally, and I couldn't find the attribute. The pta.textarea call doesn't retrieve a pure RSyntaxTextArea. It gets a PythonTextArea$textArea$1'. However, even when I approached it reflectively to get at the raw class, .gerClass().getSuperclass().getSuperclass(), in this case, I didn't see that attribute on the RSyntaxTextArea.

Update: After updating my test gateway to 8.1.44, I noticed an extra ' get added whenever I would create a comment block using '''. I hadn't seen that behavior before, and I remembered this post. Running the test again, the attribute is there, so the fact that I couldn't find it was because I wasn't using the latest version.

Here is an updated version of the script based on the feedback above:

from java.awt import Window
def getAllComponentsOfClass(container, className):
	for component in container.components:
		if component.__class__.__name__ == className:
			yield component
		else:
			for c in getAllComponentsOfClass(component, className):
				yield c

for window in Window.getWindows():
	if window.visible:
		scriptEditors = getAllComponentsOfClass(window, 'PythonTextArea$textArea$1')
#		Use this for Perspective's advanced style sheet:
#		scriptEditors = getAllComponentsOfClass(window, 'RSyntaxTextArea') 
		for editor in scriptEditors:
			editor.insertPairedCharacters = False

I've tested it and it works

One interesting observation I made while subsequently testing was in the Perspective style sheet—which is the only pure RSyntaxTextArea I'm aware of in Ignition. It does auto complete the ' on the first press, but it deletes the auto completion if the apostrophe is pressed a second time, and the quadruple apostrophe doesn't occur, so perhaps the key to fixing the PythonTextArea$textArea$1 nuisance duplications is in the style sheet's implementation.
