body: <p>How to add comments to multiline assignments in python, as is possible in C with the syntax:</p>
  
  <pre><code>char sc[] = "\x31\xdb"                  /* xor %ebx, %ebx       */
              "\x31\xc9"                  /* xor %ecx, %ecx       */
              "\xb8\x46\x00\x00\x00"      /* mov $0x46, %eax      */
              "\xcd\x80"                  /* int $0x80            */
              "\x31\xdb"                  /* xor %ebx, %ebx       */
              "\xb8\x01\x00\x00\x00"      /* mov $0x1, %eax       */
              "\xcd\x80";                 /* int $0x80            */
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but the same in python, using escaped line breaks</p>
  
  <pre><code>sc = "\x31\xdb" \   # xor %ebx, %ebx
       "\x31\xc9" \   # xor %ecx, %ecx
       "…"
  </code></pre>
