Use triple-quoted strings:

self.response.out.write("""<b>%s</b>:<br />
                                     mWEIGHT: %s<br />
                                     mDATE0_integer: %s<br />
                                    mCOUNT: %s<br />"""

(result.mUNIQUE,

result.mWEIGHT,

mDATE0_integer,

result.mCOUNT,))
