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

"À la" Scala way (but I think is the most pythonic way as OQ demands):

description = """
            | The intention of this module is to provide a method to 
            | pass meta information in markdown_ header files for 
            | using it in jinja_ templates. 
            | 
            | Also, to provide a method to use markdown files as jinja 
            | templates. Maybe you prefer to see the code than 
            | to install it.""".replace('\n            | \n','\n').replace('            | ',' ')

If you want final str without jump lines, just put \n at the start of the first argument of the second replace:

.replace('\n            | ',' ')`.

Note: the white line between "...templates." and "Also, ..." requires a whitespace after the |.
