Hi - PEP8 says lines should not exceed 79 characters in length

So if you've got some code that looks like this :
raise fooMod.fooException("Some message which is quite long")
... and assuming a certain amount of indenting you're going to break
that guideline.
However there's a way around that ! You can do this ...
raise fooMod.fooException("\
Some message \
which is quite long")
... but the trouble is when that Exception is raised the message is
displayed as :
"Some message which is quite long"
I'm aware that a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of something or
the other so maybe I should just let the PEP8 verifier complain but
otherwise does anyone have any ideas for how to get around this ?
You can use implied string concatenation:
>>> "abc" "def"
'abcdef'
so:
raise fooMod.fooException(
"Some message "
"which is quite long")
