Hi Jeff, 

You can do that, just chuck it in brackets. 

i.e.

a=(1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+
     10+11+12+13+14+14+15
       +19+20+212)

or for a list - 

a=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,
      11,12,13,14,15,16,17,
       18,29,20]

You can also do it for lists of lists, good for the array mindset.

a=[
     [1,2,3],
     [4,5,6],
     [7,8,9]
      ]

Makes it easier to think of as a 2D array.

or dictionaries

a={ 'a':1,
        'b':2, 'c':3, 'd':4,
         'e':5
        }

Python knows to keep reading until the closing bracket.
