Still Question about print format?

[Mike C. Fletcher]

  Combine the two pieces of advice.

Your form = """
    blah
    blah
    blah
"""

includes the newline characters between blah and blah :) .  That's one 
of the major purposes of the triple-quoted string form.

form = "%(index)d%(symbol)s%(binding_file)s%(to_file)s"

HTH,
