Continue command on a new line

To improve the readability of my code, I want to go to a new line in the code but I do not want the compiler to treat is as a different line of command. How do I do this?

python file_a.py file_b.py
file_c.py file_d.py

You do this by escaping the newline character, add a backslash \ directly before the line break:

python file_a.py file_b.py \
file_c.py file_d.py

You may indent the second line to further improve readability:

python file_a.py file_b.py \ file_c.py file_d.py
