Multiline strings and indentation

I'm just getting started with Python. The indentation feature really does
make things readable ... except when using multi-line strings. This just
doesn't look right:
def multiline(x):
if x:
print """this is a
multi-line string that spans
three lines"""
print "another string"
Is there a way to make the above more readable? It would be nice if it could
be written this way and have Python just figure out what whitespace to
ignore:
def multiline(x):
if x:
print """this is a
multi-line string that spans
three lines"""
print "another string"
Thanks for any suggestions!
Jen
