Did you check that?
>>> s = '''This is the first line.
... This is the second line.
... This is the third longer line.'''
>>> print s
This is the first line.
This is the second line.
This is the third londer line.
>>> print repr(s)
'This is the first line.\nThis is the second line.\nThis is the third
longer line.'
A multiline string has newline characters by definition. You can
split the string around them by using s.split():
>>> s.split('\n')
['This is the first line.', 'This is the second line.', 'This is the
third longer line.']
HTH!
