Bob has answered the specific but here's another thing to consider:

Since its too long for your code its probably too long for your
display too, so think about where you would like the line break
to be on the final print. Put in a newline character there and
put the line break there.

Alternatively use triple quoting to format the string nicely and
then use the variable in the print statement:

longstr = """
Initial integer of first sequence with
number of terms of %d or more was %s  (%d)
"""

print longstr % (length, intCommas(n_for_max_c), n_for_max_c)

HTH,
