Another way... depending on what you are using the string for, of
course. If it's an HTML/XML/SQL/whatever piece of code:

And if you don't want the starting/ending newlines:
>>>> sql = dedent("""\
> ... SELECT *
> ... FROM table
> ... WHERE foo=bar\
> ... """)
>>>>

I use this sometimes to keep both python and the embedded code readable
while preserving indentation.
