I'd do this with a triple-quoted string:

about = """Built by Walter Hurry using Python and wxPython,
with wxGlade to generate the code for the GUI elements.
Phil Lewis' get_iplayer does the real work.

I would too, but if you prefer the indentation, just leave out the '+'s and let Python do the catenation when compiling:
>>> s = "abc\n" \
    "def\n"\
    "ghi"
>>> s
'abc\ndef\nghi'
