Uncommon variations on multi-line strings in python

lines.py

# Variations on a theme.

# This first example uses a poorly documented trick in python regarding strings:
#
# https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/introduction.html
# "Two or more string literals (i.e. the ones enclosed between quotes) next to each other
# are automatically concatenated."
#
# Then it's combined with the python implied line continuation by wrapping it in an outer
# set of parentheses.

example1 = (
            'A line here\n'
            'Another line there\n'
            'The last line here.'
           )

print example1

# An alternate example using implicit line continuation, allowing removal of the parentheses

example2 = 'A line here\n'        \
           'Another line there\n' \
           'The last line here.'

print example2

# Another variation is instead to add commas between strings enclosed in brackets or
# parentheses to turn it into an iterable set of strings. Then use a string join with a single
# newline character to create the multi-line string.
#
# This is the method I like the most.

example3 = (
            'A line here.',
            'Another line there.',
            'The last line here.'
           )

print '\n'.join(example3)
