Running parameterized python script within bash script

Question

I have a python script that logs me in to a service. I do:

./login.py [email protected] 'pass'

in order to log in.

When I enter this command directly I successfully login. When I run the following script server returns 400.

PYAPIROOT="scriptpath/script"
PYLOGIN="./login.py"
LOGIN="[email protected]"
PASS="'pass'"

function login {
    echo -----------------------------
    echo
    cd $PYAPIROOT
    echo "Logging in "$LOGIN
    python "$PYLOGIN" "$LOGIN" "$PASS"
    echo $PYLOGIN $LOGIN $PASS
    echo -----------------------------
}

login

When I copy and run what is echo'ed I get 200. Why can't I log in using my script?

I suspect it's the double-quoting:

PASS="'pass'"

Use this instead:

PASS="pass"

Sure. I had to wait 15 mins from when the question was asked to accept any answer.
