PEP8 - 80 Characters - Big Strings

Due to the sheer annoyance of figuring out what to Google, I've decided to risk what any reputation I had to ask this rather simple question. As PEP8 suggests keeping below the 80 column rule for your python program, how can I abide to that with long strings, i.e. s = "this is my really, really, really, really, really, really, really l...
