It might be worth remembering that the original post was asking for an alternative to backslashes *because the Google guidelines prohibit them*. Surely the obvious answer is to change the Google guidelines? Even more so: The obvious answer is to ignore the Google guidelines :) In exactly the same way that I ignore PEP8? We're only talking guides here, not cast in stone must do or else.

The point is that any proposal here to change Python's syntax probably needs a better justification than "the existing solution is prohibited by Google's guidelines" :-)
