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

用\换行对我很有用。下面是一个例子：

longStr = "This is a very long string " \
        "that I wrote to help somebody " \
        "who had a question about " \
        "writing long strings in Python"

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。

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}'''

我使用递归函数来构建复杂的SQL查询。此技术通常可用于构建大型字符串，同时保持代码可读性。

# Utility function to recursively resolve SQL statements.
# CAUTION: Use this function carefully, Pass correct SQL parameters {},
# TODO: This should never happen but check for infinite loops
def resolveSQL(sql_seed, sqlparams):
    sql = sql_seed % (sqlparams)
    if sql == sql_seed:
        return ' '.join([x.strip() for x in sql.split()])
    else:
        return resolveSQL(sql, sqlparams)

P.S.：看看很棒的python-sqlparse库，如果需要，可以打印SQL查询。

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｝）。
