I use this feature all the time in preference to triple quote strings  
to allow the indenting structure to be preserved.

def I_like_this():
	s = ("a multi line\n"
                "that keeps the indent of the function")
         return

def I_do_not_like_this():
	s = '''a multi line
that break the indent of the function"
         return
