I think you need a secondary prompt (...) before the second line to
indicate that it is not the output of the first line.

Something like this:

 >>> long_string=u"""xxxxxxx
 ... yyyyyyyyyyy"""

If you don't want to add prompts before your examples, you could use
the "testcode" directive which is included with the doctest extension.
