Also, another newbie question: How does one make a string stretch over several lines in the source code? Is this the proper way?
(1)
print "asda asda asda asda asda asda " \
"asda asda asda asda asda asda " \
"asda asda asda asda asda asda"
A couple of other options here:
(2) print """asda asda asda asda asda asda asda asda asda asda asda asda asda asda asda asda asda asda"""
(3) print """\ asda asda asda asda asda asda asda asda asda asda asda asda asda asda asda asda asda asda"""
(4)
print ("asda asda asda asda asda asda "
"asda asda asda asda asda asda "
"asda asda asda asda asda asda")Note that backslash continuations (1) are on Guido's list of "Python Regrets", so it's likely they'll disappear with Python 3.0 (Of course this is 3-5 years off.)
I typically use either (3) or (4), but of course the final choice is up to you.
