"Explicit is better than implicit."

What is your use case and scenario? :-)

Maybe it's better to write a function to automatise this so that if instead of "line 1\n ..." you want "banana 1~banana 2~ " etc. you can simply change parameters?

That said join and list comprehensions would also come to mind, but not sure how "obvious" that is...

-----------------------------------
sSQL =  "line 1\n"
sSQL += "line 2\n"
sSQL += "line 3"
-----------------------------------
sSQL = ("line 1\n"
        "line 2\n"
        "line 3")
-----------------------------------
sSQL = "\n".join([
         "line 1",
         "line 2",
         "line 3",
       ])
-----------------------------------
sSQL =  """line 1
line 2
line 3"""
-----------------------------------
sSQL = """\
line 1
line 2
line 3"""
-----------------------------------
sSQL = "line 1\n" \
       "line 2\n" \
       "line 3"
-----------------------------------


Which is the "one obvious way" to do it?

I liked:

sSQL =  "line 1\n"
sSQL += "line 2\n"
sSQL += "line 3"


but it's frowned upon in PEP8.
