ascii_art = r"""_  __     _ _           _         ____            _               _

                                                              |___/         |___/     """
print ascii_art

Use r"""text""" to avoid backslashes escaping EOL's.

You can use raw strings:

myString = r'''_  __     _ _           _         ____            _               _                 
 | |/ /__ _| | | __ _  __| | __ _  |  _ \ __ _  ___| | ____ _  __ _(_)_ __   __ _ ___ 
 | ' // _` | | |/ _` |/ _` |/ _` | | |_) / _` |/ __| |/ / _` |/ _` | | '_ \ / _` / __|
 | . \ (_| | | | (_| | (_| | (_| | |  __/ (_| | (__|   < (_| | (_| | | | | | (_| \__ \
 |_|\_\__,_|_|_|\__,_|\__,_|\__,_| |_|   \__,_|\___|_|\_\__,_|\__, |_|_| |_|\__, |___/
                                                          |___/         |___/'''
# note the r before the string starts

More Info

Try testing the difference between print '\tHello, world!' and print r'\tHello, World!'

use triple quotes, place this text between """ """

>>> strs="""_  __     _ _           _         ____            _               _                 
 | |/ /__ _| | | __ _  __| | __ _  |  _ \ __ _  ___| | ____ _  __ _(_)_ __   __ _ ___
