Hello Maybe that's already documented, but it seems the parser accepts to build a long string w/o really using the first method:
# Method1 x = "line1" + \ # cannot use comments! "line2"+ \ "line3" and instead using a list with one element like this: # Method2 x = [ "line1" # can use comments "line2" "line3" ][0] Or: # Method3 x = ( "line1" # can use comments "line2" "line3" ) (Not that I don't want new lines in the strings) Now should I be using method 2 or 3 in production code? -- Elias -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
