split long string in two code lines

[Tracubik]

Hi all,

newbie question here

how can i write code like this:

1 def foo():
2    for index in ...
3        for plsdoit in ...
4            print "this is a very long string that i'm going to write 5 
here, it'll be for sure longer than 80 columns"


the only way i've found is to use the "/", but than i've to write 
something like this:

1 def foo():
2    for index in ...
3        for plsdoit in ...
4            print "this is a very long string that i'm going to/
5  write here, it'll be for sure longer than 80 columns"

what i don't really like is that line 5 is not indented. if i indent it, 
the spaces will be counted as spaces of the string.

Is there a better way to split the string?
thanks for your kind help
Nico
