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}'''

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',' ')

试试这样的。类似于此格式，它将向您返回一条连续的行，就像您已成功询问此属性：

"message": f'You have successfully inquired about '
           f'{enquiring_property.title} Property owned by '
           f'{enquiring_property.client}'

为了在字典内定义长字符串，保留换行符但省略空格，我最终以如下常量定义字符串：

LONG_STRING = \
"""
This is a long sting
that contains newlines.
The newlines are important.
"""

my_dict = {
   'foo': 'bar',
   'string': LONG_STRING
}

您还可以将SQL语句放置在单独的文件action.SQL中，并使用以下命令将其加载到.py文件中：

with open('action.sql') as f:
   query = f.read()

因此，SQL语句将与Python代码分离。如果SQL语句中有需要从Python填充的参数，则可以使用字符串格式（如%s或｛field｝）。

我发现，当构建长字符串时，您通常会做一些类似于构建SQL查询的事情，在这种情况下，这是最好的：

query = ' '.join((  # Note double parentheses. join() takes an iterable
    "SELECT foo",
    "FROM bar",
    "WHERE baz",
))

Levon的建议很好，但可能容易出错：

query = (
    "SELECT foo"
    "FROM bar"
    "WHERE baz"
)

query == "SELECT fooFROM barWHERE baz"  # Probably not what you want
