+ \ operator in Python

Question

What does the + \ operator do in Python?

I came across this piece of code -

rows=urllib2.urlopen('http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?'+\
's=%s&d=11&e=26&f=2006&g=d&a=3&b=12&c=1996'%t +\
'&ignore=.csv').readlines( )

and cannot find any links explaining this.

Answer 1

+- addition. \at the end of the line continues the current statement or expression on the next line.

Answer 2

NB Continuation \in this case is not necessary, since the expression is in parentheses. Python is smart enough to know that a line continues until all the brackets, brackets, and brackets are balanced.
