Python: Combining Lists into 1 but splitting the Code to do on on Multiple Lines

Question

I have this:

new_list = list_a + list_b + list_c

I want to format it so it looks like this:

new_list =
     list_a +
     list_b +
     list_c

for readability and QA purposes, how can I do this? When I try to do this, I get an Invalid Format error.

Edit: This does not answer my question: How can I do a line break (line continuation) in Python?

When I try to do the following:

new_list = (
     a,
     b,
     c
)

I get this:

new_list

[[values_from_list_a],[values_from_list_b],[values_from_list_c]]

I want this:

['values_from_list_a','values_from_list_b','values_from_list_c']

I want to combine multiple lists into 1. What the other post did was have a list made up of separate lists (see the brackets inside the brackets). — Chicken Sandwich No Pickles, Feb 06 '21 at 03:33

Use parentheses

new_list = (
  list_a + 
  list_b + 
  list_c
)

Ah, that's what I was doing wrong, I was using commas instead of + signs. – Chicken Sandwich No Pickles Feb 06 '21 at 03:41
