[Tutor] outputting long lines

Is there a tecnique for printing out long lines that span more than the
length of your script?

For example, I am trying to output this line:

1  if self.__token_info == 'cw<nt<type______':
2              self.__write_to_foot_obj.write('\
3              mi<dv<op<footnote<at<num>%s' % self.__footnote_count)

My output is:

            mi<dv<op<footnote<at<num>2

I don't want this huge space at the beginning. I want:

mi<dv<op<footnote<at<num>2

There are ugly ways to achieve what I want. I could output the text with
several write lines. I could get rid of the space in line 3 above. But I
was thinking there is probably an easeir and more elegant solution.

Thanks

Paul
