That's done by the compiler at compile time and is fast.
Moreover, it's also more readable, when you use str calling its
methods or using formatting on it.
I use it very often, e.g.:
afunction('quite long string %s quite long string '
'quite long string quite long string %s '
'quite %s long string quite long string'
% (variable1, variable2, variable3))
It seems nicer to me than:
afunction(('quite long string %s quite long string '
+ 'quite long string quite long string %s '
+ 'quite %s long string quite long string')
% (variable1, variable2, variable3))
(Note that multiline-'''-strings are usless in such cases).
