Avi> Python's longstring facility is very useful, but unhappily breaks

Avi> msg = ('From: %s\r\n'
Avi> + 'To: %s\r\n'
Avi> + 'Subject: Host failure report for %s\r\n'
Avi> + 'Date: %s\r\n'
Avi> + '\r\n'

Avi> mail.sendmail(fr, to, msg)
This really belongs on comp.lang.python, at least until you've exhausted the
existing possibilities and found them lacking. However, try:
msg = ('From: %s\r\n'
'To: %s\r\n'
'Subject: Host failure report for %s\r\n'
'Date: %s\r\n'
'\r\n'
'%s\r\n') % (fr, ', '.join(to), host, time.ctime(), err)
or
msg = ('''\
From: %s
To: %s
Subject: Host failure report for %s
Date: %s
%s
') % (fr, ', '.join(to), host, time.ctime(), err)
or (untested)
def istring(s):
return re.sub(r"(\r?\n)\s+", r"\1", s)
msg = """From: %s
To: %s
Subject: Host failure report for %s
Date: %s
%s
"""
msg = istring(msg) % (fr, ', '.join(to), host, time.ctime(), err)
