我认为当代码（例如，变量）缩进并且输出字符串应该是单行（没有换行）时，另一个选项更可读：

def some_method():

    long_string = """
A presumptuous long string
which looks a bit nicer
in a text editor when
written over multiple lines
""".strip('\n').replace('\n', ' ')

    return long_string

根据我的格式建议，您可以将查询写成：

query = ('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
         )

 vars = (account_id, account_id, def_id)     # A tuple of the query variables
 cursor.execute(query, vars)                 # Using Python's sqlite3 module

或类似：

vars = []
query = ('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 = '
                 vars.append(account_id) or '?'
             ' AND'
             ' record_def.account_id = '
                 vars.append(account_id) or '?'
             ' AND'
             ' def_id = '
                 vars.append(def_id) or '?'
         )

 cursor.execute(query, tuple(vars))  # Using Python's sqlite3 module

与“IN”和“vars.extend（options）”或“n_options（len（option））”一起使用可能很有趣，其中：

def n_options(count):
    return '(' + ','.join(count*'?') + ')'

或者从darkcaline那里得到的提示是，您可能仍然会在使用前导空格和分隔符以及命名占位符时出错：

SPACE_SEP = ' '
COMMA_SEP = ', '
AND_SEP   = ' AND '

query = SPACE_SEP.join((
    'SELECT',
        COMMA_SEP.join((
        'action.descr as "action"',
        'role.id as role_id',
        'role.descr as role',
        )),
    'FROM',
        COMMA_SEP.join((
        'public.role_action_def',
        'public.role',
        'public.record_def',
        'public.action',
        )),
    'WHERE',
        AND_SEP.join((
        'role.id = role_action_def.role_id',
        'record_def.id = role_action_def.def_id',
        'action.id = role_action_def.action_id',
        'role_action_def.account_id = :account_id',
        'record_def.account_id = :account_id',
        'def_id = :def_id',
        )),
    ))

vars = {'account_id':account_id,'def_id':def_id}  # A dictionary of the query variables
cursor.execute(query, vars)                       # Using Python's sqlite3 module

请参阅Cursor.execute-function的文档。

“这是[最Python]的方式！”-。。。

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
}

你的实际代码不应该工作；在“行”的末尾缺少空格（例如，role.descr作为roleFROM…）。

多行字符串有三个引号：

string = """line
  line2
  line3"""

它将包含换行符和额外的空格，但对于SQL来说这不是问题。

“la”Scala方式（但我认为这是OP要求的最具Python风格的方式）：

description = """
            | The intention of this module is to provide a method to
            | pass meta information in markdown_ header files for
            | using it in jinja_ templates.
            |
            | Also, to provide a method to use markdown files as jinja
            | templates. Maybe you prefer to see the code than
            | to install it.""".replace('\n            | \n','\n').replace('            | ',' ')

如果您希望最后的str没有跳转行，只需将\n放在第二个替换的第一个参数的开头：

.replace('\n            | ',' ')`.

注意：“…templates.”和“另外，…”之间的白线需要在|后面加一个空格。

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())
