It hasn't been in Python from the start. It was added when people found
it very very painful to emit large strings to files.

Compare:

message = '''\
From: %(origin)s
To: %(dest)s
Subject: triple quotes in Python

Why are there triple quoted strings
in Python?
''' % vars()
os.popen("/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -t", 'w').write(message)

To

message = (
"From: %(origin)s\n"
"To: %(dest)s\n"
"Subject: triple quotes in Python\n"
"\n"
"Python doesn't need no\n"
"stinking triple quotes\n" ) % vars()
os.popen("/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -t", 'w').write(message)

Which version would you feel safer letting a non-programmer modify?
