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).
uhh? A much better way to handle such a problem is like this...
prompt1 = '''
Some people like to use %s
ways of doing things just
so they can support their %s
way of coding
'''
Sorry, you are wrong, '''-way would be usefull only if:
* you want to have '\n' in each place where you wrap the
literal in your code,
and
* you use '''-literal at a module (non-indented) level
or you need not only '\n'-s but also indentations
(dependent on indentation of your code),
or such ugly indentation is ok for you:
some indentated code...
prompt = '''quite long string %s quite long string
''' quite long string quite long string %s
''' quite %s long string quite long string
'''
some indentated code...
That's why I wrote it's "useless in such cases."
