Can you give an example?  For the Python here everything betwenn `"""'
is a string.  So why should a print statement matter?

>>> """
... 123
... 3 + 4
... print 27 * 35
... 42
... """
'\n123\n3 + 4\nprint 27 * 35\n42\n'
>>> s = _
>>> s
'\n123\n3 + 4\nprint 27 * 35\n42\n'
>>> print s

123
3 + 4
print 27 * 35
42

>>>
