I use it, personally. The other two options I find too aesthetically displeasing: not indenting the string looks bad when it's within an indented block of code, and using join and putting the strings in a list is just too much boilerplate. I will use """ if I don't care about the extra space put at the start of each line by the indentation.

I think you want textwrap.dedent

or inspect.cleandoc.
