例如：

sql = ("select field1, field2, field3, field4 "
       "from table "
       "where condition1={} "
       "and condition2={}").format(1, 2)

Output: 'select field1, field2, field3, field4 from table
         where condition1=1 and condition2=2'

如果条件的值应该是字符串，可以这样做：

sql = ("select field1, field2, field3, field4 "
       "from table "
       "where condition1='{0}' "
       "and condition2='{1}'").format('2016-10-12', '2017-10-12')

Output: "select field1, field2, field3, field4 from table where
         condition1='2016-10-12' and condition2='2017-10-12'"

我发现自己对这个很满意：

string = """This is a
very long string,
containing commas,
that I split up
for readability""".replace('\n',' ')

从Python官方文档中：

字符串文本可以跨越多行。一种方法是使用三引号：“”“…”“”或“”“”…“”。行的结束是自动的包含在字符串中，但可以通过添加\在线路的末端。以下示例：

print("""\
Usage: thingy [OPTIONS]
     -h                        Display this usage message
     -H hostname               Hostname to connect to
""")

生成以下输出（注意，初始换行符不是包括在内）：

在Python>=3.6中，可以使用格式化字符串文本（f字符串）

query= f'''SELECT   action.descr as "action"
    role.id as role_id,
    role.descr as role
    FROM
    public.role_action_def,
    public.role,
    public.record_def,
    public.action
    WHERE role.id = role_action_def.role_id AND
    record_def.id = role_action_def.def_id AND
    action.id = role_action_def.action_id AND
    role_action_def.account_id = {account_id} AND
    record_def.account_id = {account_id} AND
    def_id = {def_id}'''

嗯。

我知道这个问题发布已经很久了。但我刚刚找到了我想用来为项目中的变量分配长字符串和多行字符串的样式。这需要一点额外的运行时间，但仍然保留了代码的美感，即使我将字符串分配给的变量缩进很大。

    # Suppose the following code is heavily indented
    line3header = "Third"

    variable = fr"""

First line.
Second line.
{line3header} line.
{{}} line.
...
The last line.

    """.strip()
    """A variable whose name is Variable.

    You can even add a docstring here.
    """

    variable = variable.format("Fourth")
    print(variable)
    variable += "\n"
    print(variable, end="")

就这样。

我通常用这样的词：

text = '''
    This string was typed to be a demo
    on how could we write a multi-line
    text in Python.
'''

如果要删除每行中烦人的空格，可以执行以下操作：

text = '\n'.join(line.lstrip() for line in text.splitlines())
