I think common is

     stderr.write("WARNING: ",
                  "Pants on fire")

or

     stderr.write(
         "WARNING: "
         "Pants on fire"
     )

If you haven't got braces around an expression and you want it to be 
multi-line, you need a '\' at the end of each line, just like C macros:

     msg = "WARNING: " \
           "Pants on fire"

Though that is not commonly used afaik.
