I am programming simple RSA decryption routine in Python (I am a bit new to Python) and can't seem to find a way to neatly format long integer in my code.
The integer is 2048 bit long and if written on one line extends far to the right. In C such integer would be represented by a word array, which one can write out neatly on one page.
How would I go about doing this in Python? I tried the obvious solution:

```
modulus = 0xaaaaa\
bbbbb\
ccccc

```

This does not work at all. The only thing that I found to work is this:

```
smodulus = "\
aaaaa\
bbbbb\
ccccc"
modulus = long(smodulus,16)

```

Could you suggest a formatting method for a long integer?

Thanks.
