>>> if 'asdf' and 'asdf' and 'asdf' \
...         'asdf' and 'asdf' and \
...         'asdf' and 'asdf':
...     print('do if')
...     s = 'asdf'
...     ss = 'asdf'
...     
do if
>>> if looks_like_it_might_be_spam(
...         some_longer_variables,
...         here_and_here, and_here_also):
...     logger.notice("might be spam")
