Sometimes I'm tempted to write numbers like that as follows:

 P = int('29674495668685510550154174642905332730771991'
         '79985304335099507553127683875317177019959423'
         '8596428121188033664754218345562493168782883')

which is nicer to read, except for the minor annoyance of the call to int and the string delimiters.

This variant seems to work pretty well, and I find it easy to understand.

If I had this problem often enough and end-users I'd probably put them in an .ini file (values broken with newlines), with a short function to load and assemble them properly.
