Note that in Python if there is whitespace after the `\` it will be an error:
In [1]: s = 'one\ File "<ipython-input-1-270c132ab6d9>", line 1 s = 'one\ ^ SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal I think it's safer to just use the implicit string literal concatenation and implicit line continuation: In [2]: s = ( ...: 'one' ...: 'two' ...: 'tree' ...: ) In [3]: s Out[3]: 'onetwotree' Which lets you order the strings with the desired indentation level, without forcing you to write them flush to the left, as in your example.
