Use textwrap.dedent


If you’re writing long string in python, it will break indent and look like the followings

import string
import random

def generate_long_string(n):
    for _ in xrange(n):
        name = "".join([random.choice(string.letters) for i in xrange(15)])
        msg = """\
Hi %s,
Greeting

Hubert
""" % name
        yield msg

for msg in generate_long_string(3):
    print msg

You can use textwrap.dedent to solve it

import string
import random

from textwrap import dedent

def generate_long_string(n):
    for _ in xrange(n):
        name = "".join([random.choice(string.letters) for i in xrange(15)])
        msg = """\
            Hi %s,
            Greeting

            Hubert
            """ % name
        yield dedent(msg)

for msg in generate_long_string(3):
    print msg
