Pythonic way to create a long multi-line string

Question

I have a very long query. I would like to split it in several lines in Python. A way to do it in JavaScript would be using several sentences and joining them with a +<

Answer 1

I usually use something like this:

text = '''
    This string was typed to be a demo
    on how could we write a multi-line
    text in Python.
'''

If you want to remove annoying blank spaces in each line, you could do as follows:

text = '\n'.join(line.lstrip() for line in text.splitlines())
