But if you don't want the EOLs? Example from some code of mine:

raise MakeError("extracting '%s' in '%s' did not create the " "directory that the Python build will expect: " "'%s'" % (srcpkg, dstdir, dst)) I use this kind of thing frequently. Don't know if others consider it bad style.

I use it too, and would be disappointed if it were taken away. I find the usefulness considerably outweighs any occasional problems.
