Rather than letting technical issues dictate where to place your code,
you can keep the indentation for code readability and remove it when
the data is processed::
>>> import textwrap
>>> def get_text():
... raw_text = """\
... Blah blah
... spam eggs spam
... """
... text = textwrap.dedent(raw_text)
... return text
...
>>> foo = get_text()
>>> print foo
Blah blah
spam eggs spam
>>>
