How to write an f-string on multiple lines without introducing unintended whitespace? [duplicate]

Question

Consider the following code snippet:

name1 = "Nadya"
name2 = "Jim"

def print_string():
    string = f"{name1}\n\
{name2}"
    print(string)

print_string()

which produces

Nadya
Jim

This works, but the 'break' in indentation on the second line of the string definition looks ugly. I've found that if I indent the {name2} line, this indentation shows up in the final string.

I'm trying to find a way to continue the f-string on a new line and indent it without the indentation showing up in the final string. Following something similar I've seen for ordinary strings, I've tried

name1 = "Nadya"
name2 = "Jim"

def print_string():
    string = f"{name1}\n"
             f"{name2}"
    print(string)

print_string()

but this leads to an IndentationError: unexpected indent. Is what I am trying possible in another way?

Answer 1

string = f"{name1}\n"   \   # line continuation character
         f"{name2}"

Update thanks to @cowbert, to adhere to PEP-8 recommendation:

string = (f"{name1}\n"
          f"{name2}"
         )
