Python wrap code without adding a new line (backslash)

Question

So I have this code that i want to wrap, and i have looked for solutions, most people say to use '\' but when i print the msg from the exception, it splits the string with the new line character

raise specialExceptions.ConnectError("There was a \
                                      connect issue")

this prints as:

There was a 
connect issue

I want to wrap the code but output it as one line, how do i do this. thanks

Answer 1

Use implicit string concatenation.

raise specialExceptions.ConnectError("There was a "
                                     "connect issue")

Two string literals appearing adjacent to one another will be merged into a single string. The two literals can appear on different lines; intervening whitespace is not counted, due to Python's implicit line continuation inside parentheses.
