I think the slot assignment is a garden variety tuple,
so putting parenthesis around it should do what you want.

  __slots__ = ('one', 'two',
           'three')

This is a technical detail about tuples: it's the comma that
is significant in defining a tuple, not the parenthesis. Except in
two cases, the parens are simply syntactic sugar. (They make
the tuple into an expression.)

If there's some reason you don't want to use parenthesis,
use a backslash before the newline at the end of the line.
