python raw_input separate lines

This piece of code is too long in the editor and requires me to scroll to see it. How can I break the code down into multiple lines? 

review = raw_input('If the secret number is too high enter h, if the secret  number is too low enter l and if it is correct enter c: ')

You can divide the strings up and put each of them in a line of its own -

review = raw_input('If the secret number is too high enter h'
                   ', if the secret  number is too low enter l'
                   'and if it is correct enter c: ')

Example/Demo -

>>> review = raw_input('If the secret number is too high enter h'
...                    ', if the secret  number is too low enter l'
...                    'and if it is correct enter c: ')
If the secret number is too high enter h, if the secret  number is too low enter land if it is correct enter c: h
>>> review
'h'

To print out on multiple lines, create multiline string, using """ or ''' (three quotes) -

s = '''If the secret number is too high enter h
, if the secret  number is too low enter l
and if it is correct enter c: '''

review = raw_input(s)

Example/Demo -

>>> s = '''If the secret number is too high enter h
... , if the secret  number is too low enter l
... and if it is correct enter c: '''
>>>
>>> review = raw_input(s)
If the secret number is too high enter h
, if the secret  number is too low enter l
and if it is correct enter c: c
>>> review
'c'

I used a separate string just for readability, but you can directly give raw_input() a multiline string, without having to store it in any variable.

review = raw_input("""If the secret number is too high enter h,  
                   if the secret  number is too low enter l 
                   and if it is correct enter c: """)

Use triple quotes for multi-line string.
