I have a really long string in python:
long_string = ' this is a really really really long string ' However, since the string spans multiple lines, python doesn't recognize this as a string. How do I fix this?

Use a backslash ( \ ) as a line continuation character In Python, a backslash ( \ ) is a line continuation character. If a backslash is placed at the end of a line, it is considered that the line is continued on the next line.
How to create a string in Python? Strings can be created by enclosing characters inside a single quote or double-quotes. Even triple quotes can be used in Python but generally used to represent multiline strings and docstrings.
Use """ (double quote) or ''' (single quote) for multiline string or use \ for seperating them. NOTE: """ and ''' should be used with care otherwise it may print too many spaces in between two lines.
You can also do this, which is nice because you have better control over the whitespace inside of the string:
long_string = ( 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, ' 'sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna ' 'aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ' 'ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. ' 'Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit ' 'esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint ' 'occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia ' 'deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.' ) If you love us?
