I've decided to go with

    message = (
       "This is line1. "
       "This is line2 "
       "This is line3\n")

since I'm declaring many different messages inside various functions I feel
it is important to keep the indentaion and code both aligned properly so the
code looks nice and the output looks nice.

It is easier than doing replace and splicing since I want to keep it as
simple and clean as possible, in true pythonic tradition...

Thanks for the input!
