sleep just gices a long pause before quitting, usually enough
to read the output.

Consider triple quoted strings too. String formatting works with these 
too:

print """
This is a long text message,
It includes new lines.
It also shows the result of some interpolated values here:

The sum of %d and % d is %d
""" % (4,5,4+5)


I find that more readable than lots of \ns or lots of print
statements.
