Yes. More generally, within any “parenthesising” operators, like parens,
brackets, or braces. Anything which allows Python's parser to read the
next line as a continuation.
You'll often find code written in a different style:
long_line_to_demonstrate_my_point.write("WARNING:"
" Pants on fire\n")
but I find that silly and unwieldy, especially when the early parts of
the first line change length.
