This starts with an empty line.  I believe this can be changed by

                 sql = \
"""select customers.name as name,

Which then breaks up the SQL, albeit only slightly.

My point had to do with "breaking up the indentation structure" and I think 
you have illustrated my point.

You illustration does not show how a long triple quoted string gets 
supplied with parameters.  Stylistically, I often prefer substituting 
parameters on a line by line basis because there is better locality, making 
the code easier to understand and read.
