I have following code:

print "my name is [%s], I like [%s] and I ask question on [%s]" % ("xxx", "python", "stackoverflow")

I want to split this LONG line into multiple lines:

print "my name is [%s]" ", I like [%s] " "and I ask question on [%s]" % ("xxx", "python", "stackoverflow")

Can you please provide the right syntax?

Use implied line continuation by putting everything within parentheses. This is the method recommended in Python's Style Guide (PEP 8):

print ("my name is [%s]" ", I like [%s] " "and I ask question on [%s]" % ("xxx", "python", "stackoverflow"))

This works because the Python interpreter will concatenate adjacent string literals, so "foo" 'bar' becomes 'foobar'.

An alternative style:

print "my name is [%s], I like [%s] and I ask question on [%s]" % ( "xxx", "python", "stackoverflow")
