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

Your actual code shouldn't work, you are missing whitespaces at the end of "lines" (eg: role.descr as roleFROM...)

There is triplequotes for multiline string:

string = """line
  line2
  line3"""

It will contain the line breaks and extra spaces, but for SQL that's not a problem.
