Python skip first line of multiline string

Question

Is there a way to skip the first line of a multiline string? So that I can do this:

str = """
  some
  indented
  stuff"""

instead of

str = """  some
  indented
  stuff"""

Answer 1

The python parser takes any end-of-line \ in the code followed by no characters as a line break for the parser:

x = """\
  some
  indented
  stuff"""
