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 +<

    Generally, I use list and join for multi-line comments/string.

    lines = list()
lines.append('SELECT action.enter code here descr as "action", ')
lines.append('role.id as role_id,')
lines.append('role.descr as role')
lines.append('FROM ')
lines.append('public.role_action_def,')
lines.append('public.role,')
lines.append('public.record_def, ')
lines.append('public.action')
query = " ".join(lines)

    you can use any string to join all this list element like '\n'(newline) or ','(comma) or ''(space)

    Cheers..!!

    Are you talking about multi-line strings? Easy, use triple quotes to start and end them.

    s = """ this is a very
        long string if I had the
        energy to type more and more ..."""

    You can use single quotes too (3 of them of course at start and end) and treat the resulting string s just like any other string.

    NOTE: Just as with any string, anything between the starting and ending quotes becomes part of the string, so this example has a leading blank (as pointed out by @root45). This string will also contain both blanks and newlines.

    I.e.,:

    ' this is a very\n        long string if I had the\n        energy to type more and more ...'

    Finally, one can also construct long lines in Python like this:

     s = ("this is a very"
      "long string too"
      "for sure ..."
     )

    which will not include any extra blanks or newlines (this is a deliberate example showing what the effect of skipping blanks will result in):

    'this is a verylong string toofor sure ...'

    No commas required, simply place the strings to be joined together into a pair of parenthesis and be sure to account for any needed blanks and newlines.

    Breaking lines by \ works for me. Here is an example:

    longStr = "This is a very long string " \
        "that I wrote to help somebody " \
        "who had a question about " \
        "writing long strings in Python"

    You can also concatenate variables in when using """ notation:

    foo = '1234'

long_string = """fosdl a sdlfklaskdf as
as df ajsdfj asdfa sld
a sdf alsdfl alsdfl """ +  foo + """ aks
asdkfkasdk fak"""

    EDIT: Found a better way, with named params and .format():

    body = """
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
    <p>Lorem ipsum.</p>
    <dl>
        <dt>Asdf:</dt>     <dd><a href="{link}">{name}</a></dd>
    </dl>
    </body>
</html>
""".format(
    link='http://www.asdf.com',
    name='Asdf',
)

print(body)

    I use a recursive function to build complex SQL Queries. This technique can generally be used to build large strings while maintaining code readability.

    # Utility function to recursively resolve SQL statements.
# CAUTION: Use this function carefully, Pass correct SQL parameters {},
# TODO: This should never happen but check for infinite loops
def resolveSQL(sql_seed, sqlparams):
    sql = sql_seed % (sqlparams)
    if sql == sql_seed:
        return ' '.join([x.strip() for x in sql.split()])
    else:
        return resolveSQL(sql, sqlparams)

    P.S: Have a look at the awesome python-sqlparse library to pretty print SQL queries if needed. http://sqlparse.readthedocs.org/en/latest/api/#sqlparse.format

    If you don't want a multiline string but just have a long single line string, you can use parentheses, just make sure you don't include commas between the string segments, then it will be a tuple.

    query = ('SELECT   action.descr as "action", '
         'role.id as role_id,'
         'role.descr as role'
         ' FROM '
         'public.role_action_def,'
         'public.role,'
         'public.record_def, '
         'public.action'
         ' WHERE role.id = role_action_def.role_id AND'
         ' record_def.id = role_action_def.def_id AND'
         ' action.id = role_action_def.action_id AND'
         ' role_action_def.account_id = '+account_id+' AND'
         ' record_def.account_id='+account_id+' AND'
         ' def_id='+def_id)

    In a SQL statement like what you're constructing, multiline strings would also be fine. But if the extra whitespace a multiline string would contain would be a problem, then this would be a good way to achieve what you want.
