You just have to quote them properly. >>> text = """x = 1 ... y = x+2 ... del x ... print y ... """ >>> exec text 3 You can even embed triple-quoted strings inside the string to be executed. >>> text = "s = '''%s'''" % """This is a ... triple quoted ... string""" >>> >>> exec text >>> s 'This is a\ntriple quoted\nstring' If you're going to remove anything, I'd look at why you are using exec in the first place. To me, it's a code smell -- not necessarily wrong, but exec is awfully open to abuse and potential security flaws. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
