matplotlib raw string line break in code

What is the character or chain of characters in the code of matplotlib text field to break the line so as to avoid having too long code lines?

for example:

plt.text(0.5, 0.5,
    r'$\mathsf{sin\left(\frac{\pi}{180} f_1 \theta + \varphi_1\right) + B sin\left(\frac{\pi}{180} f_2 \theta + \varphi_2\right)}$'

using "\" to break the long line yields in printing in unformatted text.

I usually take advantage of string literal concatenation. IOW, if you have strings right next to each other without any intervening operator then they're automatically joined:

>>> "a" + "b"
'ab'
>>> "a" "b"
'ab'

and so

plt.text(0.5, 0.5,
         r'$\mathsf{sin\left(\frac{\pi}{180} f_1 \theta + \varphi_1\right)'
         r'     + B sin\left(\frac{\pi}{180} f_2 \theta + \varphi_2\right)}$')

works too. (Since this is TeX I added some extra spaces to bring the two lines into alignment; if we were working with something which was more white-space sensitive that wouldn't work.)
