You can use the +
operator to join strings. Here's an extract of how I do it in the setup.py
file of my app:
long_description="Qreator enables you to easily create your " +
"own QR codes to encode different types of information " +
"in an efficient, compact and cool way.",
You can also use Python's implicit line continuation like this:
long_description=(
"Qreator enables you to easily create your "
"own QR codes to encode different types of information "
"in an efficient, compact and cool way."
