How to write paragraphs and assign it to a variable/name in Python?

You may have encountered challenges when you want to assign a paragraph (which has line breaks, different words like for, in , and, etc., in multiple).

Example code of the problem:

with open('test1.txt', 'w') as f:
  data = '

  Although never is often better than *right* now.

  '
  
  f.write(data)
  f.close()

Sample output of above code:

  File "<ipython-input-63-d6afd08e0997>", line 2
    data = '
           ^
SyntaxError: unterminated string literal (detected at line 2)

There may be other different ways to deal with this kind of error. Here is my approach to deal with this problem — by using “‘ text body”’ instead of

‘ text body’ or “text body”. Remember docstring used in functions and or class?

Example:

def my_function():
    ' ' 'Here you will relevant details concisely to make code understandable and more readable' ' '
  
    return None

print(my_function.__doc__)

Output:

Here you will relevant details concisely to make code understandable and more readable 

Using ‘“ text body ’” to solve our problem.

with open('test1.txt', 'w') as f:
  data = '''

  '''
  
  f.write(data)
  f.close()

Lets see if it worked.

with open('test1.txt', 'r') as f:
  data = f.read()
  f.close()
print(data)

Output:
