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

Another option that I think is more readable when the code (e.g variable) is indented and the output string should be a one liner (no newlines):

def some_method():

    long_string = """
a presumptuous long string 
which looks a bit nicer 
in a text editor when
written over multiple lines
""".strip('\n').replace('\n', ' ')

    return long_string
