use

        self.writeLog('This is a very long line that has this %s'
                      ' substitution and will go longer than 78 chars")

contiguous strings are concatenated.

or for really long stuff, use 

        self.writeLog(
"""This is a very long line that has this %s
This is a very long line that has this %sThis is a very long line that has 
this %sThis is a very long line that has this %sThis is a very long line that 
has this %sThis is a very long line that has this %sThis is a very long line 
that has this %s                      ' substitution and will go longer than 
78 chars"""
)
