Hot to split string literals that will across two or more lines ?

Hi,

I need to print a long sting, which is two long so it must expand two
lines.
I know that we can use backslash(\) to explicitly join two lines into a
logical line,
but this doesn't work for string literals :(

my code:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
if sth.:
print "a string whcih is very very loooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooo oooooo\
ooooooooooooooo ooooong."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I don't break the line, it will be very ugly, if I break the
line,....but how ?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance! in python there are triple quoted strings:
strVar = """this the beginning
and this is the end """

print "a string which is very loooooo" \
+ "ooooong."

Minor pedantry, but the plus sign is redundant. Python automatically
concatenates string literals on the same logical line separated by only
whitespace.

Thanks.
But even I use triple quoted strings instead , there is still extra
space before "and this...".
The string I want to print is in a "if" statement, so it is not at the
beginning of the line.
